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 …

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 …

Using full-colour palaeogeographical maps from the Cambrian to the present, this
interdisciplinary volume explains how plate motions and surface volcanism are linked to …

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

A significant number of new palaeomagnetic poles have become available since the last
time a compilation was made (assembled in 2005, published in 2008) to indicate to us that a …

The Qilian Orogen at the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau is a type suture zone that
recorded a complete history from continental breakup to ocean basin evolution, and to the …

Abstract The North Qaidam ultra-high pressure metamorphic (UHPM) belt in the northern
Tibetan Plateau records a complete history of the evolution of a continental orogen from …

Just over 15 years ago, a proposal forwarded by Rogers and Santosh (2002) posited the
existence of a pre-Rodinia supercontinent which they called Columbia. The conjecture …

Tungsten and Sn deposits in China are widely distributed in the South China block (ie,
Yangtze craton-Cathaysian block), Himalaya, Tibetan, Sanjiang, Kunlun, Qilian, Qinling …

This paper presents a brief synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the formation and
break-up of the early-Neoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia, and the subsequent assembly …
