Geological reconstructions of the East Asian blocks: From the breakup of Rodinia to the assembly of Pangea
Pangea is the youngest supercontinent in Earth's history and its main body formed by
assembly of Gondwana and Laurasia about 300–250 Ma ago. As supported by voluminous …

The formation of Pangea
GM Stampfli, C Hochard, C Vérard, C Wilhem - Tectonophysics, 2013 - Elsevier
The making of Pangea is the result of large-scale amalgamation of continents and micro-
continents, which started at the end of the Neoproterozoic with the formation of Gondwana …

Two plates—many subduction zones: the Variscan orogeny reconsidered
The Variscides of Europe and N-Africa are the result of the convergence of the plates of
Gondwana and Laurussia in the Paleozoic. This orogen is characterized by the juxtaposition …

Evolution of the Rheic ocean
The Rheic Ocean, which separated Laurussia from Gondwana following the closure of
Iapetus, is arguably the most important ocean of the Palaeozoic. Its suture extends from …

Rift melting of juvenile arc-derived crust: geochemical evidence from Neoproterozoic volcanic and granitic rocks in the Jiangnan Orogen, South China
A combined study of zircon U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopes, mineral O isotopes, whole-rock
elements and Sr–Nd isotopes was carried out for Neoproterozoic volcanics and granites …

A review of Wilson Cycle plate margins: A role for mantle plumes in continental break-up along sutures?
Abstract The Wilson Cycle theory that oceans close and reopen along the former suture is a
fundamental concept in plate tectonics. It was named after J. Tuzo Wilson who recognised …
