We built the tectonic maps using free community software, called GPlates, that we developed for real-world tectonic modelling in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney. Plate tectonics can help us contextualise climate change and, like in the Game of Thrones world, geological events can influence political and social history. But we also hope this map will help people better understand the science of plate tectonics, which is key to us knowing our past, present and even future world. The map shows the different types of landscapes in the fictional world Why solve tectonic 'jigsaw puzzles'?ДЇirstly, because even scientists are allowed a bit of fun now and then.

Tectonic plates are moving slabs that make up the outer layer of our planet, and behave like conveyor belts in the way they carry and drag continents around on the surface. Research assistants Cian Clinton-Gray, Irene Koutsoumbis and Youseph Ibrahim contributed to creating the map and writing this article. Tectonic plates are moving slabs that make up the outer layer of our planet, and behave like conveyor belts in the way they carry and drag continents around on the surface.Д®ven in this fantasy Game of Thrones world, geological processes like tectonic plate movement, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions would have been responsible for building the mountains, carving the rivers and creating vast oceans. Inspired by this work, we have built the first plate tectonic reconstruction of the Game of Thrones continents.
