Plate boundaries from Bird66. Uncertainty in the position of the NAM–SAM plate boundary is indicated by white shading. Plate motion vector is for Atlantic seafloor relative to the Caribbean plate26. Regional seismic networks used for this study include our VoiLA experiment with ocean-bottom seismometers (red triangles) and additional land stations (dark-green diamonds) from which data were added to the global EHB catalogue53.
