The region of dark orange represents velocity in the opposite direction to the plate motion. B: Contours of margin-parallel velocity, dark blue is the plate motion magnitude and orange is zero velocity. C: Contours of vertical velocity where dark blue is maximum negative and orange/yellow is no vertical movement. For margin-parallel and margin-parallel contour plots, the contour interval is 2.5 mm a-1 and for vertical velocity, the contour interval is 4 mm a
