How did the peripheral subduction drive the Rodinia breakup: Constraints from the Neoproterozoic tectonic process in the northern Tarim Craton
R Ren, SW Guan, SC Zhang, L Wu, HY Zhang - Precambrian Research, 2020 - Elsevier
The peripheral or exterior subduction is known to drive the breakup of Rodinia; however, the
geodynamic driving mechanism remains controversial, which may result from the slab …
