I am planning to introduce: 1. The background of the microplate in terms of how it is named, and where it is located. 2. The motion pattern and driving forces of the microplate. 3. Influence of the microplate and some geological discover upon the microplate. I will be mainly using the article from UW library. a few sources are found for now:

1. The recent history of the Galapagos triple junction preserved on the Pacific plate. Tominaga, M., Tivey, M., MacLeod, C., Morris, A., Lissenberg, C., Shillington, D., & Ferrini, V. (2016). Characterization of the in situ magnetic architecture of oceanic crust (Hess Deep) using near‐source vector magnetic data. Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 121(6), 4130-4146.

2. Structurl pattern of the Galapagos Microplate and Evolution of the Galapagos Triple Junctions. Structural Pattern of the Galapagos Microplate and Evolution of the Galapagos Triple Junctions. (1988). Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 93(B11), 13551-13574.

3. Counter-rotating microplats at the Galapagos triple junction. Klein, Emily M., Smith, Deborah K., Williams, Clare M., & Schouten, Hans. (2005). Counter-rotating microplates at the Galapagos triple junction. Nature, 433(7028), 855.

Sounds fantastic. Please go ahead! If you need help with formatting or anything, just ask here. I, or someone else, will see it. ;) --Thogo 19:23, 22 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
