### Plate Kinematics and reconstruction

If we understand the *kinematics* of plate boundary evolution, then we can run a configuration backwards in time to observe the earlier configuration. In this short concluding part of the module, we cast the observations about plate deformation in the form of hard-and-fast rules and we see what we can do with them.

The "rules" of plate boundary kinematics and how they can be used.

## Links

The plate reconstruction community uses a tool known as [GPlates](https://www.gplates.org) that was developed at the University of Sydney (along with many international collaborators). There is a portal where you can [browse interactive movies](http://portal.gplates.org) of plates moving over hundreds of millions of years with various data visualised on the moving plates.
