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 …

The evolving mosaic of tectonic plates across the surface of the Earth sets boundary
conditions for the evolution of biotic and abiotic processes and helps shape the dynamics of …

The origins of ultralow velocity zones, small-scale structures with extremely low seismic
velocities found near the core–mantle boundary, remain poorly understood. One hypothesis …

The plate tectonic history of the Junction Region, which separated the Panthalassa and
Tethys realms, is notoriously challenging to reconstruct. The region has been dominated by …

Convective flow in the deep mantle controls Earth's dynamic evolution, influences plate
tectonics, and has shaped Earth's current surface features. Present and past convection …

Following hundreds of millions of years of subduction in all circum-Pacific margins, the
Pacific Plate started to share a mid-ocean ridge connection with continental Antarctica …

Abstract The India–Asia collision zone is the archetype to calibrate geological responses to
continent–continent collision, but hosts a paradox: there is no orogen-wide geological …

East Asia's complex tectonic history makes it a unique place for plate-tectonic studies. While
the crust and mantle structures beneath this region have been extensively investigated by …

The link between surface tectonic plates and mantle slabs is fundamental for paleo-tectonic
reconstructions and for our understanding of mantle dynamics. Many seismic tomography …

Plate tectonics is primarily driven by the constant gravitational pull of slabs where oceanic
lithosphere sinks into the mantle at subduction zones. Under stable plate boundary …
