Tectonic significance of changes in post-subduction Pliocene-Quaternary magmatism in the south east part of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region [PDF]
, 2010 The south-eastern part of the Carpathian–Pannonian region records the cessation of convergence between the European platform/Moesia and the Tisza–Dacia microplate.

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Trench-parallel ridges on the Rivera plate subducting beneath W Mexico, control upper-plate tectonics and elastic structure, and act as unstable asperities, enabling shallow megathrust seismogenesis, according to seismic imaging and tomographic modeling.

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]
, 2004 We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.

Cenozoic Plate Tectonic Reconstructions and Plate Boundary Processes in the Southwest Pacific [PDF]
, 2005 The Australia-Pacific-Antarctic plate circuit has long been a weak link in global plate reconstruction models for Cenozoic time. The time period spanning chron 20 to chron 7 (43-25 Ma) is particularly problematic for global plate models because seafloor

Indonesian Landforms and Plate Tectonics
Indonesian Journal on Geoscience, 2014 DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v5i3.103The horizontal configuration and vertical dimension of the landforms occurring in the tectonically unstable parts of Indonesia were resulted in the first place from plate tectonics.

The ‘pargasosphere’ hypothesis: Looking at global plate tectonics from a new perspective [PDF]
, 2021 Apart from the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB), mid-lithospheric discontinuities (MLDs) in thick and old continental lithospheres appear to play an important role in global plate tectonics.

On the plate tectonics hypothesis
Геофизический журнал, 2013 The history of the origin and use of the hypothesis of plate tectonics on the continents, oceans and in the transition zones are analyzed. Its contradiction with basic facts of geological history and geophysical data for these regions has been shown.

Driving mechanisms for plate tectonics
Geofísica Internacional, 1973 Esta generalmente aceptada la idea de que el motor de la tectónica de placas sea algún tipo de convección térmica. La fuerza impelente puede aplicarse dentro de la placa, o bien puede transmitirse a la placa desde abajo.

Present-day stress orientations and tectonic provinces of the NW Borneo collisional margin [PDF]
, 2010 Extent: 15p.Borehole failure observed on image and dipmeter logs from 55 petroleum wells across the NW Borneo collisional margin were used to determine maximum horizontal stress (σH) orientations; combined with seismic and outcrop data, they define seven
