The program Kjell posted was truncated. I FTP'd to 192.12.184.72 (topgun. dspo.gov) and got plates.c from the /pub/usml directory. Here is the whole program... ****************************************************************************** /* * A program to simulate tectonics. * * Copyright 1988 by Mark Isaak. * You may distribute this however you like, as long as you don't sell it * and you keep this notice in it. * * Wish list: * Do it on a sphere, not a square torus * Give plates angular momentum * Make some constants variable * Horsts and grabens * Let 2 plates fuse together and/or 1 plate split apart sometimes * Astroblemes * Take density of rock into account */ [900+ lines of source deleted. --Ed.]
