Gray gneiss complexes comprise most of the Archean crust in the Southern São Francisco
Craton and its surroundings, and their metagranitoid components can be distinguished …

Collisional orogens are a periodic manifestation of plate tectonics on Earth. They form by the
amalgamation of continental blocks, and they take place along both active and passive …

Abstract The Archean Eon was a time of geodynamic changes. Direct evidence of these
transitions come from igneous/metaigneous rocks, which dominate cratonic segments …

Collisional orogens are one of the most conspicuous features of plate tectonics on Earth.
They record the dynamics of continent-continent amalgamation, often confined to linear …

Abstract The Patos Shear System (PSS) is a 20–40 km wide domain of anastomosing shear
zones intercalated with non-mylonitic segments at the core of the Borborema Province, a …

Sedimentary basins are valuable archives of tectonic processes involved in continental
rifting. The northern Rocky Mountains preserve the Belt Supergroup, one of the most …

Abstract The Campos Gerais Domain (CGD) in southeastern Brazil is an approximately 180
km× 35 km area of Archean–Proterozoic rocks located southwest of the São Francisco …

Metasediments in collisional orogens critically record tectonic conditions during sediment
formation and the thermal evolution during orogenesis. However, Precambrian …

Abstract The North American Intermountain West preserves the Belt Supergroup, one of the
best records of Mesoproterozoic strata on Earth; however, debate remains about first-order …

Granulitos e migmatitos são rochas metamórficas de alto grau, formadas em contextos
geológicos diversos, como zonas de convergência de placas tectônicas, rifts continentais …
