Layer: Plate Boundaries (ID: 7)

Name: Plate Boundaries

Display Field: Name

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline

Description: the plate boundary curves in the most compact form, and should be used to add plate boundaries to maps. It contains 6,048 points grouped into 229 segments. The title record for each segment has 5 bytes, in which the first two bytes give the identifier of the plate on the left (as one travels along the segment, looking down from outside the Earth) and bytes 4-5 give the identifier of the plate on the right. In byte 3, the symbol "/" indicates that the right-hand plate subducts under the left-hand plate, while symbol "\" indicates the opposite polarity of subduction. All non-subducting plate boundary segments have a hyphen "-" in byte 3. The number of segments exceeds the number of plate boundaries for several reasons: (i) because a single plate boundary may include both subduction and non-subduction segments, which require different titles; (ii) because different parts of a single plate boundary may be credited to different sources; (iii) for convenience in digitizing long plate boundaries which did not fit onto a single map.
