Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

Major tectonic units of the North China Craton and their Paleoproterozoic assembly [PDF]
, 2003 The basement of the North China Craton can be divided into the Eastern and Western Blocks and the Central Zone (Trans-North China Orogen). The West Block formed by the amalgamation of the Ordos Block in the south and the Yinshan Block in the north 1.9-2 ...

Influence of Inherited Rifted Margin Architecture on Continental Collision Dynamics
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Continental collision is a key process in lithospheric evolution, driving mountain building, crustal thickening, and supercontinent assembly. Within the Wilson cycle, collision marks the final stage following rifting, ocean spreading, and subduction.
