The Geodynamic Implications of Passive Margin Subduction in Northwest Turkey
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 The number of subduction zones that facilitated the northward translation of the Anatolide‐Tauride continental terrane derived from Gondwana to the southern margin of Eurasia at the longitude of western Turkey is debated.

Tectono-sedimentary evolution of the NE Dinarides margin during the Cretaceous Adria-Europe convergence [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2023 The Cretaceous sedimentation along the NE Dinarides margin occurred in basins above the Europe-dipping Neotethyan Sava subduction zone positioned between Adria- and Europe-derived continental units.

Thermochronometry constraints on south West Greenland passive continental margin development
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Passive continental margins (PCMs) represent the interface between the marine and terrestrial realms. However, topographic evolution of PCMs is often difficult to decipher due to paucity of the preserved geological record. Here, we report uranium-thorium-

Subduction initiation at passive continental margins: A review based on numerical studies
Solid Earth Sciences, 2021 The Wilson cycle predicted that the passive continental margin finally collapses and forms a new subduction zone, because the transition between oceanic and continental lithosphere provides as a natural boundary with great density and rheology contrasts.

Asymmetric continental deformation during South Atlantic rifting along southern Brazil and Namibia [PDF]
, 2017 Plate restoration of South America and Africa to their pre-breakup position faces the problem of gaps and overlaps between the continents, an issue commonly solved with implementing intra-plate deformation zones within South America.
