 resolution that is higher than the maximal mesh size for the \aspect{}
 model is unnecessary and only increases the computational cost and memory consumption of

+\textbf{Important note:} The Mesh creation routine in GPlates has significantly

+latitude intervals, the ``Place node points at centre of latitude/longitude

 created points and their velocities indicated as points and arrows in GPlates.
 To export the calculated velocities one would use the ``Reconstruction
 $\rightarrow$ Export'' menu. In this dialog the user may specify the time
