+which are taken as weights ranging from 0 on stable shields (craton) and 1 (one) in active tectonic regions
 -- values in between will be computed as the weighted average of the craton and tectonic models.
 
 An optional argument *water_vel* is the value that water-covered areas will be set to; the default is 600.
