Extending full-plate tectonic models into deep time: Linking the Neoproterozoic and the Phanerozoic
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 …

Geological reconstructions of the East Asian blocks: From the breakup of Rodinia to the assembly of Pangea
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 …
