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 Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

The lower plate is the dominant agent in modern convergent margins characterized by
active subduction, as negatively buoyant oceanic lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere …

The tectonic evolution of the Indian plate, which started in Late Jurassic about 167million
years ago (~ 167Ma) with the breakup of Gondwana, presents an exceptional and intricate …

Abstract Convergence of the Indian Plate towards Eurasia has led to the building of the
Himalaya, the highest mountain range on Earth. Active mountain building involves a …

Abstract The India-Asia collision is an outstanding smoking gun in the study of continental
collision dynamics. How and when the continental collision occurred remains a long …

As subducting plates reach the base of the upper mantle, some appear to flatten and
stagnate, while others seemingly go through unimpeded. This variable resistance to slab …

The breakup of Pangea in the Jurassic saw the opening of major ocean basins at the
expense of older Tethyan and Pacific oceanic plates. Although the Tethyan seafloor …
