equivalent_rotation {tectonicr}

Equivalent rotation

Description

Transforms a sequence of rotations into a new reference system

Usage

equivalent_rotation(x, fixed, rot)

Arguments

x

Object of class "data.frame" containing the Euler poles of plate rotations:

plate.rot

Moving plate

lat, lon

coordinates of Euler pole

angle

Angle of rotation

plate.fix

Fixed plate

fixed

plate that will be regarded as fixed. Has to be one out of x$plate.fix

rot

(optional) plate that will be regarded as rotating. Has to be one out of x$plate.rot.

Value

sequence of plate rotations in new reference system. Same object class as x

Examples

data(nuvel1) # load the NUVEL1 rotation parameters

# all nuvel1 rotation equivalent to fixed Africa:
equivalent_rotation(nuvel1, fixed = "af")
# relative plate motion between Eurasia and India:
equivalent_rotation(nuvel1, "eu", "in")
