Members

axisreadonly

axis: Vec3

Unit direction of the nucleus, in body-fixed axes.

basereadonly

base: number

Interior datum offset, as a signed fraction of the hypsometry budget.

continentalreadonly

continental: boolean

Continental crust rather than ocean floor.

motionreadonly

motion: Vec3

Unit tangent at the nucleus: the direction the plate is drifting.

Tangent rather than arbitrary, because the whole point is the component of relative motion across a boundary — a radial component would mean a plate moving into or out of the body.

stepreadonly

step: number

±1: which way a transform boundary steps.
