[图书][B] Continents and supercontinents

JJW Rogers, M Santosh - 2004 - books.google.com
To this day, there is a great amount of controversy about where, when and how the so-called
supercontinents--Pangea, Godwana, Rodinia, and Columbia--were made and broken …

The Mohorovičić discontinuity beneath the continental crust: An overview of seismic constraints

R Carbonell, A Levander, R Kind - Tectonophysics, 2013 - Elsevier
The seismic signature of the Moho from which geologic and tectonic evolution hypotheses
are derived is to a large degree a result of the seismic methodology which has been used to …

Assembly and preservation of lower, mid, and upper orogenic crust in the Grenville Province—Implications for the evolution of large hot long-duration orogens

T Rivers - Precambrian Research, 2008 - Elsevier
It is argued that the Grenville Province is a large hot long-duration orogen with a plateau in
