Comparison of \({V}_{P}\) map views obtained by this study with plate reconstructions (Müller et al. 2019) using an age-depth relationship (Butterworth et al. 2014). The depth of the tomography and the age of reconstruction are shown above each panel. The scale for \({V}_{P}\) perturbation (in %) is shown on the right. In e and f, thick arrows show locations of weak high-\({V}_{P}\) lineaments. Black jagged lines delineate subduction zones, and other black lines denote mid-ocean ridges and transform faults. The length and azimuth of each arrow denote the rate and direction of the absolute plate motion, respectively. The scale for the plate motion rate is shown on the right.
