Linestrings representing borders between tectonic plates.

=== Original Data Source ===
World tectonic plates and boundaries

As per data source - This dataset is a conversion of the dataset
originally published in the paper 'An updated digital model of plate
boundaries' by Peter Bird (Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, 4(3),
1027, doi:10.1029/2001GC000252
[http://scholar.google.se/scholar?cluster=1268723667321132798],
2003). To bring this dataset into the modern age, the original data
has been parsed, cleaned, and verified using ArcGIS 10.2 and
converted to shape files. The dataset presents tectonic plates and
their boundaries, and in addition orogens and information about the
boundaries. The data is useful for geological applications, analysis
and education, and should be easy to use in any modern GIS software
application. For information on the fields and values, please refer
to the [original](http://peterbird.name/oldFTP/PB2002/2001GC000252_r
eadme.txt) documentation and the scientific article.

Dataset credit should acknowledge Hugo Ahlenius, Peter Bird, and
