Esteemed Geologists,
I am very interested in the Island of Cyprus, which is subject to subduction forces.
The Eratosthenes Tablemount (of Cyprus) seems to have been connected (at one time) to the Hecataeus Seamount. Is this a possibility?
What is the name of the plate bordering the African Plate and Eurasian Plate (west of the Indian-Australian Plate)? This plate seems to be what Israel and Syria are located on.
Does the Cyprus Basin straddle two or three of the bordering plates, or is all of Cyprus (Island, H. Seamount, Basin, & E. Tablemount) all together on one plate?
Is it possible that the island of Cyprus (& H. Seamount) has moved North, over time - from the Eratosthenes Tablemount?
If so, what is the rate of movement?
