>>40837087As the person who specifically said "Let's discuss this with the thread." I am open to it right now.
Microplates aren't visibile on our current tectonic plate map because they only show the major (I think minor plates too) plates, and micro plates as the other anon just said as I was typing this up are localized plates or next to other major plates. They are called micro because they are >1 million km2. There is even a debate today about whether or not such plates should be considered distinct portions of the crust.
For the purposes of worldbuilding, It is a worthy discuss because as I said, they can add more flavour and uniqueness to nations that desire them. I do not believe in moving the major plates, but microplates are different because they wouldn't impact much beyond the local area.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriatic_PlateThis is an example of a microplate.
I also fully agree about having a vote on this in the future. The whole point of this was to not have a double standard but rather to explore more interesting aspects of the world that haven't been thought of yet.
