Relative motion between plates has been detected and quantified in a            number of ways, particularly for the Cenozoic and Mesozoic.  This               project will extend this work with special attention to the accumulated         errors involved in past plate position reconstructions.  The use of             covariance matrices to describe the errors in plate rotations appears           useful and will be applied to all reconstructions performed.  Plate             reconstructions will be extended back to the Mesozoic Era, the earliest         time for which significant seafloor remains.  This longer time history          of plate motions, and analysis of these, will provide a better                  opportunity to study the evolution of these motions and will improve our        understanding of which features are characteristic of plate tectonics           and which are transitory and accidents of a single geometry or time             interval.
