Identification and evolution of tectonic units in the Philippine Sea Plate

open access: yesChina Geology, 2022
The Philippine Sea Plate is located at the convergence zone of the Eurasian Plate, the Pacific Plate, and the Indo-Australian Plate. This paper divides the Philippine Sea Plate into two second-order tectonic units and eight third-order tectonic units by ...

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Tectonic history of the South Tannuol Fault Zone (Tuva region of the northern Central Asian Orogenic Belt, Russia) : constraints from multi-method geochronology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In this study, we present zircon U/Pb, plagioclase and K-feldspar Ar-40/Ar-39 and apatite fission track (AFT) data along the South Tannuol Fault Zone (STFZ).

Tectonic Evolution of the Terrestrial Planets [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1981
The style and evolution of tectonics on the terrestrial planets differ substantially. The style is related to the thickness of the lithosphere and to whether the lithosphere is divided into distinct, mobile plates that can be recycled into the mantle, as on Earth, or is a single spherical shell, as on the moon, Mars, and Mercury.

Bransfield Basin Tectonic Evolution

open access: yes, 2006
6 pages, 5 figures Bransfield Basin is located at the Pacific margin of the Antarctic Peninsula and constitutes an incipient oceanic back-arc basin. This basin developed as a consequence of the separation of the South Shetland Block from the Antarctic Peninsula.

Mesozoic multi-direction collision tectonic evolution of the Ordos Basin, China: Insights from the detrital zircon and apatite (U-Th)/He analyses

open access: yesChina Geology
: The Ordos Basin (OB) in the western part of the North China Craton (NCC), was located at the jointed area of multi-plates and has recorded the Mesozoic tectonic characteristics.

Synergetic tectonics. 3. The main tectonic regularity in the structure of continental margins

open access: yesГеофизический журнал, 2013
Tectonic evolution of continental outskirts (CO) is considered as a result of selfdevelopment in relation with periodical orthogonal change of the Earth's proper rotation axis position — tectonic (T) stages.
