    more than I want ? No, more information and criticism, better the map will be.

    Thank you very much, your opinion is very important to me, because -> This Map <- is my main inspiration, for this part of the process, your notes will be of great value. Honestly, I have to study more about it.

I considered this bit of land to be more or less the size of Australia/S.America... This matters because the bigger it is the more you have to take into consideration that the movement is on a spherical surface, on the other hand, on smaller maps, plates are few and "large" (relatively) and their movement is nearly/mostly linear.
    Either way, I think this what you should do first - decide where on to place your continent on the planet's globe. This will also (obviously!!) influence the climate in a great deal.
    Since you brought it up, the size of the continent is roughly the territory of the image below. But the planet's size is about two and a half times the size of Earth, with an inclined axis in eleven degrees. And the continent is in the Northern Hemisphere, and the equator not appear on the map because it is far to the south, (or the continent is far to the north, if you prefer that).
