Table S2 Data used for plate velocity diagrams and reconstructions for the North Pacific margin. M1 indicates stage poles from plate circuit models of Engebretson et al. [1985], and M2 indicates stage poles from plate circuit models from Müller et al. [2008] as determined by Dobrovine and Tarduno [2008]. Plate velocities and azimuth were calculated with the UNAVCO Plate Motion Calculator [http://www.unavco.org/community_science/science-support/crustal_motion/dxdt/model.html] using the following user-definedstage poles.
