Ambiguity for ambiguity's sake?
The boundary line between the Arabian and African plates on the given maps on both pages is so wide that it completely covers (Israel/Palestine), which is to say that you can't actually see on which plate(s) (Israel/Palestine) sits. Why is that? Hmm... 2607:FEA8:BFA0:BD0:957E:F3AC:DE60:4574 (talk) 03:29, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

GPS data shows only NE movement
Al GPS trackers shown on the NASA site show a NE movement, very much in synch with the African plate. Most are in Israël, but the one near Bagdad is also showing this direction. So only a small difference with the Eurasian plate remains (that one is slightly more easterly). This does make me wonder what is forcing the Anatolian plate to the west? So there must be something more going on in northern Iraq and Syria, where no such data excist. If that area is really moving north, would that not mean there is a another microplate on the move over there (say roughly the area to the northeast of Homs)? Or can a part of a microplate move independently? Is there somebody who has hard data about this poorly understood area? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codiv (talk • contribs) 13:29, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
