Includes bibliographic reference and index. A novel geometrical simulation of global plate kinematics has been developed. The tectonic plates are represented by a consistent mesh of spherical polygons covering a part of or the entire sphere. Movements of the plates are rotations about their Euler poles with given angular velocities. Not only the contents of the plates are moved, but also their boundaries due to interrelations between neighbour plates. The model representing the plates stays consistent and geometrically closed at every step of the simulation. Neither holes nor overlays arise. For realisation of the simulation, spherical versions of a number of computational geometry algorithms had to be developed and implemented, as they are only insufficiently described in literature. The particularity of spherical computation geometry consists in the non-Euclidean character of underlying spherical geometry as well as the compact and curved nature of the sphere. For achieving of correct results of geometric computations using finite precision arithmetic a technique called exact geometric computation has been deployed. aCN b010001 010001 242.1 Z7 gljx1607 h1 ; rCNY400.00
