Development of stand-alone application for computing plate tectonic motion over the earth’s surface / Ahmad Zikri Abd Aziz

Plate tectonic motion is the displacement of the plates over the earth’s surface that usually occurs due to earthquakes. Significant displacements can be detected in regions with high seismic activities. Therefore, the plate tectonic motion is emphasized where the rate of movement is calculated peri...
