Establishing how tectonic plates have moved since deep time is essential for understanding
how Earth's geodynamic system has evolved and operates, thus answering longstanding …

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 …

Subduction related to the ancient supercontinent cycle is poorly constrained by mantle
samples. Sublithospheric diamond crystallization records the release of melts from …

Sublithospheric diamonds and the inclusions they may carry crystallize in the
asthenosphere, transition zone, or uppermost lower mantle (from 300 to∼ 800 km), and are …

Lighting up the magma plumbing system beneath a large igneous province (LIP) is
challenging because the complex magma migration paths are often covered by flood basalts …

Following a decade during which its presence was widely accepted, the existence of the
putative Ediacaran supercontinent Pannotia has come into question since the turn of the …

Abstract The Southern Atlantic-Southwest Indian ridges (SASWIR) host mid-ocean ridge
basalts with a residual subduction-related geochemical fingerprint (ie, a ghost-arc signature) …

Full‐plate reconstructions describe the history of past continental motions and how plate
boundaries have evolved to accommodate these motions. Traditionally, tectonic …

Igneous rocks associated with the Cretaceous to Paleogene volcanic arc in SW Japan show
ages that young from west to east in a direction parallel to the Median Tectonic Line …

Plate tectonics drives the compositional diversity of Earth's convecting mantle through
subduction of lithosphere. In this context, the role of evolving global geodynamics and plate …
