Image? edit

This article needs a map showing the location and boundaries. - Erebus555 11:00, 17 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

It now has two - I'm unconvinced that the lower of the two images adds anything at all, but, as I created the upper image, I'll leave others to comment. Mikenorton (talk) 08:32, 21 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Actually moving north? edit

If you look at the NASA GPS map, the only GPS tracker is near Ankara and it shows things are moving north! So that is quite the opposite direction. Now maybe there is more data available from trackers not used by NASA, but in that case it is clear the situation is quite a bit more complex then shown here. If this movement would be representative for the entire plate, one does wonder what is forcing the Aegean plate to move south? So there is probably a lot more going on. It is a bit ironic that the parts of the world that are the least understood (this area, the eastern parts of Indonesia/Philippines) appear to have the fewest GPS-trackers. There seems to be plenty of opportunities for some interesting PhD-research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codiv (talkcontribs) 11:29, 12 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
