The plates in this table rotate counter-clockwise relative to a fixed
Pacific plate. Cartesian values are in units of angular degrees per million
years.

The plates in this table rotate counter-clockwise relative to a fixed
Pacific plate. Conversions of the Cartesian values from the above table
assume a spherical Earth - latitudes are thus geocentric
and not geodetic. Calculations of plate velocities at specific locations on
Earth's surface with all possible paired permutations of the above
angular velocities can be made with the motion calculator
found in the left column of this page (via #2).
