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 …

The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

This global study of 31 off-shore back-arc basins and subbasins (BABs) identifies their
principal characteristics based on a broad spectrum of geophysical and subduction-related …

To address the question of the initiation and mechanisms involved in the process of
subduction zone formation, we explored most of the available evidence for the subduction …

Accurate spatial models of tectonic plates and geological terranes are important for
analyzing and interpreting a wide variety of geoscientific data and develo** compositional …

The tectonics, geography and climate of the Cretaceous world were very different from the
modern world. At the start of the Cretaceous, the supercontinent of Pangaea had just begun …

Numerous continents have rifted and drifted away from Gondwana to repeatedly open
ocean basins over the past∼ 500 million years. These Gondwana-derived continents drifted …

Abstract Northwest Pacific-Izanagi subduction histories along Eurasia are poorly
constrained due to extensive subduction, which partially consumed the western Pacific plate …

Based on the marine magnetic anomalies identified in the Argo Abyssal Plain offshore
northwestern Australia, the conceptual continent of Argoland must have rifted off in the Late …

Recent studies have debated the timing and spatial configuration of a possible intersection
between the Pacific-Izanagi spreading ridge and the northeast Asian continental margin …
