At the Nazca plate the fault lines change the direction of curvature and turns around a point near where the rift meets Mexico. This is due to the Northward motion of the continents. The area between the grey lines that meets on the Pacific plate at the blue/green border, is geometrically exess crust due to the growth of the planet Earth. Crust that is on the East side of the ridge is roughly 10 000 km away from the Blue Triangle North of Australia. The yellow/red big circle marks the 10 000 km distance. If this crust was subducting under South America, it should be converging, because it is moving towards a smaller circumference. As we see, we have instead two triple junctions and increased spreading, indicating growth!
