NOTE: Unfortunately, this video has begun to attract views and comments from people who purport the Earth to be flat. That is not the point of this video. Rather, I introduce the calculation of relative plate motions in two-dimensions for simplicity. I will leave the comments and video title as they are for now, but if this becomes a burden I will be forced to rename the "cute" video title to be something without the term "flat Earth".

Mini-lecture 2.4 plate motions on a flat Earth, part of the topic Kinematics of Plate Tectonics in the Geodynamics course at the University of Helsinki.
