    There are a few things you must pay attention to when building a realistic map with plate tectonics: are plates' mouvements ok relative to each other, taking in account where are the oceanic ridges ? Does continents originally coming from the same plate match (like Africa and South America)? I advise to use several arrows for plates rotation, which usually happens when the ridge don't spread at the same rate everywhere. Here, it seems like the second is ok but I'm not sure if there's a ridge between 7 and 9 or 1 and 2...
    Otherwise your map is very interesting and hope to see more soon!

    7 and 9 are diverging from each other, so should end up with a ridge though it's not as clear as if they were moving directly away from each other.

    1 and 2 is more interesting because they're both effectively converging as they move up the globe and have less space to work with. Farther south it's more complicated, and I'm not really entirely sure what's going on there, but there may be microplates that make up the difference in there.

    Those are good things for me to think about, for sure.
