Do microcontinents nucleate subduction initiation?

Geology, 2023
Abstract Subduction initiation is a pivotal process in plate tectonics. Models of subduction initiation include the collapse of passive margins, oceanic transform faults, inversion of oceanic core complexes, and ridge failure but have ignored the potential effects of continental crust relicts within the oceanic crust.

A recipe for microcontinent formation

Geology, 2001
Accreted slivers of continental margins are common in the geologic record, but the processes that lead to their formation are poorly understood. We observe an association of plume-related microcontinent isolation and subsequent long-term asymmetries in oceanic crustal accretion based on four recent examples: the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, Jan ...

Cordilleria, a newly defined Canadian microcontinent

Nature, 1985
Palaeomagnetic data and geological field evidence indicate that most of the western Canadian cordillera lay 1,500 km south of its present position in the early Cretaceous. We suggest that this region comprised a microcontinent, termed Cordilleria, which moved on the Kula plate and collided with the craton ˜100 Myr ago to form first the Mackenzie ...

Microcontinent formation around Australia

2003
Microcontinents are common in the accreted continental geological record, but relatively rare in modern settings. Many of today's microcontinents are found in the Tasman Sea and Indian Ocean. These include the East TasmanRise, the Gilbert Seamount Complex, the Seychelles, Elan Bank (Kerguelen Plateau), and possibly fragments of the Lord Howe Rise and ...
