1. All plates A-D shown in the figure below move rigidly without rotation. All ridges add at equal rates to the plates on either side of them (the rates given on the diagram are half the plate- separation rates. The trench forming the boundary of plate A does not consume A. Use the plate velocities and directions to determine (a) the relative motion between plates B and D (b) the relative motion between the triple junction J and plate A. Where and when will J reach the trench? Draw a sketch of the geometry after this collision showing the relative velocity vectors and discuss the subsequent evolution
