Recent progress in plate tectonic reconstructions has seen models move beyond the
classical idea of continental drift by attempting to reconstruct the full evolving configuration of …

Neoproterozoic tectonic geography was dominated by the formation of the supercontinent
Rodinia, its break-up and the subsequent amalgamation of Gondwana. The Neoproterozoic …

The history of the South China Craton and the constituent Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks are
directly linked to Earth's Phanerozoic and Precambrian record of supercontinent assembly …

Periodic assembly and dispersal of continental fragments has been a characteristic of the
solid Earth for much of its history. Geodynamic drivers of this cyclic activity are inferred to be …

Abstract The East African Orogen, extending from southern Israel, Sinai and Jordan in the
north to Mozambique and Madagascar in the south, is the world́s largest Neoproterozoic to …

The recognition that Earth history has been punctuated by supercontinents, the assembly
and breakup of which have profoundly influenced the evolution of the geosphere …

Continental China is a mosaic of numerous tectonic blocks, which amalgamated from
Neoarchean to Cenozoic broadly coeval with the cycles of global supercontinents such as …

Continental crust is the archive of Earth history. The spatial and temporal distribution of
Earth's record of rock units and events is heterogeneous; for example, ages of igneous …

Abstract After its Ediacaran-Early Cambrian assembly, Gondwana was flanked by a system
of peripheral orogens, Terra Australis, Avalonian-Cadomian and newly defined North Indo …

During the late Cryogenian–Ediacaran (650–542Ma), the Arabian–Nubian Shield (ANS)
underwent final assembly and accretion to the Saharan Metacraton concurrent with the …
