Maps of the age of oceanic plates, which varies between 0 and around 200 Ma due to ongoing plate motion and recycling (i.e., ocean-plate tectonics). Global ocean-plate age data from Müller et al. (1997) visualised on a custom Interrupted Mollweide map projection from Crameri et al. (2020) focussing on the World’s oceans. The Scientific colour map ‘batlow‘ is used to represent data accurately and to all readers.
