Did plate tectonics control the generic diversity of Jurassic brachiopods? One point of view
Geologos, 2018 Possible plate tectonic controls on faunal diversity dynamics have been discussed in the geological literature for around 50 years. The new model of plate tectonic processes is here linked to Jurassic generic diversity (simple α-diversity) of brachiopods.

Impact‐Generated Mixing, Melting and Vaporization of the Early Earth's Crust
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Earth's primary accretion was followed by a protracted flux of interplanetary collisions by leftover planetesimals. The effects of the largest collisions—with bodies possibly exceeding 1,000 km diameter—would have been devastating for terrestrial near‐surface environments.

Kinematics of the South Atlantic rift [PDF]
, 2013 The South Atlantic rift basin evolved as branch of a large Jurassic-Cretaceous intraplate rift zone between the African and South American plates during the final breakup of western Gondwana.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Ribbon collision is a process that can rapidly disturb the symmetry of subduction zones. Previous studies have demonstrated how ribbon collision causes rotation at the surface and contortion in the slab, but have only focused on the surface kinematics.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The Appalachian‐Caledonian orogen was built during the Paleozoic by accretion of peri‐Gondwanan terranes onto Laurentia, culminating in the formation of Pangea. During the Mesozoic, Pangea broke apart, displacing one section of the belt to eastern North America and another to northwestern Europe.

Thermal deformation, complex bending and stretching of lithospheric plate in tectonic force field
Алматы технологиялық университетінің хабаршысы, 2021 Plate tectonics implies the rigidity of near-surface Earth rocks and their elastic behavior at geological scales of time. The plates are subjected to tectonic and thermogradient forces resulting in their bending, stretching and thermal deformation.

Mesozoic and Cenozoic diktyogenese in the Lower Yangtze region
Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2020 Three stages of metamorphic tectonic movements took place in the Lower Yangtze region due to the joint action of the Tethys and the Pacific plates from the Middle/Late Triassic to the Early/Middle Jurassic, the Late Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous, and ...

Modeling Geoid and Dynamic Topography From Tomography‐Based Thermo‐Chemical Mantle Convection
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Mantle convection causes the most important contribution to the geoid and dynamic topography. With mantle density inferred from high‐resolution tomography models and numerical methods solving the governing equations of viscous mantle flow, the modeled geoid can fit the observations well.
