Supplementary Material to Merdith et al. (submitted)—'A continuous, kinematic full-plate motion model from 1 Ga to present'. APWP path for Africa from 540 to 320 Ma. GAPWAP for Africa from 320 to 0 Ma This was calculated after Tetley (2018) using a windowed mean (window=50, step=10). Two timesteps produced erratic behaviour, 430 and 420 Ma. However, there is no palaeomagnetic data from Gondwana to constrain the APWP at this time. In lieu of this we interpolated the APWP for these two time steps from the rotations at 440 and 410 Ma. These interpolated rotations are included below and in the rotation file of this model. The raw APWP poles that were calculated are given at the bottom of the file. moving_plate Age Lat Lon Angle fixed_plate 701 0.0 90.0 0.0 0.0 000 701 10.0 0.0 97.19 5.31 000 701 20.0 0.0 91.92 6.71 000 701 30.0 0.0 102.08 8.54 000 701 40.0 0.0 117.34 13.73 000 701 50.0 0.0 124.39 15.27 000 701 60.0 0.0 129.74 16.83 000 701 70.0 0.0 138.56 18.91 000 701 80.0 0.0 142.15 19.77 000 701 90.0 0.0 151.23 20.74 000 701 100.0 0.0 159.7 23.92 000 701 110.0 0.0 165.43 28.74 000 701 120.0 0.0 169.28 32.69 000 701 130.0 0.0 168.73 35.79 000 701 140.0 0.0 168.24 39.3 000 701 150.0 0.0 166.55 41.89 000 701 160.0 0.0 165.22 35.73 000 701 170.0 0.0 164.81 33.63 000 701 180.0 0.0 161.57 29.21 000 701 190.0 0.0 156.99 26.56 000 701 200.0 0.0 152.7 26.13 000 701 210.0 0.0 147.26 26.82 000 701 220.0 0.0 146.59 29.53 000 701 230.0 0.0 148.46 37.21 000 701 240.0 0.0 150.42 42.82 000 701 250.0 0.0 152.87 47.36 000 701 260.0 0.0 152.55 51.43 000 701 270.0 0.0 150.95 51.36 000 701 280.0 0.0 148.21 53.97 000 701 290.0 0.0 145.23 57.94 000 701 300.0 0.0 141.98 57.87 000 701 310.0 0.0 140.57 58.66 000 701 320.0 0.0 139.46 63.67 000 701 330.0 0.0 137.91 66.09 000 701 340.0 0.0 128.47 70.9 000 701 350.0 0.0 116.38 78.48 000 701 360.0 0.0 110.03 83.68 000 701 370.0 0.0 108.08 85.39 000 701 380.0 0.0 107.56 86.03 000 701 390.0 0.0 106.38 80.23 000 701 400.0 0.0 103.55 82.08 000 701 410.0 0.0 103.95 68.31 000 *701 420.0 0.0 95.005 85.4002 000 *701 430.0 0.0 88.6223 103.487 000 701 440.0 0.0 83.68 122.11 000 701 450.0 0.0 89.0 126.0 000 701 460.0 0.0 93.06 124.89 000 701 470.0 0.0 94.96 124.8 000 701 480.0 0.0 97.71 120.83 000 701 490.0 0.0 99.15 117.75 000 701 500.0 0.0 101.03 114.0 000 701 510.0 0.0 100.46 112.02 000 701 520.0 0.0 -85.15 -109.96 000 701 530.0 0.0 -90.78 -105.02 000 701 540.0 0.0 -92.16 -100.45 000 *interpolated, below two lines are the calculated APWP poles 701 420.0 0.0 100.67 83.01 000 701 430.0 0.0 98.6 78.66 000 References Tetley, M.G., 2018.
