Subduction initiation is one of the main unsolved issues in plate tectonics theory with
different proposed mechanisms. In the arc (plateau, terrane)-continent collision models, a …

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 …

Orogens that form at convergent plate boundaries typically consist of accreted rock units that
form an incomplete archive of subducted oceanic and continental lithosphere, as well as of …

Abstract The South Andaman Island is located on the southeastern fringe of the Indian plate.
Tectonically, the islands are associated with the Burma-Andaman-Java subduction zone of …

Abstract The Andaman and Nicobar ophiolites, in the forearc of the western Sunda
subduction zone, underwent enigmatic, rapid Cenozoic vertical motions: shallow-water …

Subduction of the Pacific and Indian-Australian Plates, regional transpression, lateral block
extrusion, and structural inversion have all interacted to affect the crustal deformation and …

Ophiolites, fragments of oceanic lithosphere exposed on land, are typically found as isolated
klippen in intensely deformed fold-thrust belts spanning hundreds to thousands of kilometers …

Abstract The Neoproterozoic Fuchuan ophiolite complex (FCO) represents the lithospheric
remnant of the back‐arc basin in the southeastern margin of the Yangtze Craton. However …

The Mesozoic‐age Andaman Island Ophiolite located in the southeastern fringe of the
Indian plate margin is one of the well‐preserved supra‐subduction‐zone oceanic …

Minor ultramafic (dunite) and mafic (gabbroic) rock occurrences are exposed in South
Andaman Island, Bay of Bengal. Dunite is in contact with serpentinite, while gabbroic rocks …
