Journal ArticleDOI
Three distinct types of hotspots in the Earth's mantle
TL;DR: The origin of mantle hotspots is a controversial topic as mentioned in this paper, and only seven (primary) out of 49 hotspots meet criteria aimed at detecting a very deep origin (three in the Pacific, four in the Indo-Atlantic hemisphere).
Journal ArticleDOI
Pacific-North America Plate Tectonics of the Neogene Southwestern United States: An Update
Tanya Atwater,Joann M. Stock +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use updated rotations within the Pacific-Antarctica-Africa-North America plate circuit to calculate plate reconstructions for times since chron 13 (33 Ma).
Journal ArticleDOI
Slowing of India's convergence with Eurasia since 20 Ma and its implications for Tibetan mantle dynamics
Peter Molnar,Joann M. Stock +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstructed the relative positions of the India and Eurasia plates using recently revised histories of movement between India and Somalia and between North America and Europe and of the opening of the East African Rift.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cenozoic evolution of Neotethys and implications for the causes of plate motions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the Cenozoic history of the Neotethyan ocean between Arabia and Eurasia and found that the convergence rate of the Arabia-Eurasia convergence has been fairly constant at 2 to 3 cm/yr since 56 Ma with a slowing of Africa-Eurusia motion to < 1 cm/r near 25 Ma, coeval with the opening of the Red Sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
The tectonic history of the Tasman Sea: A puzzle with 13 pieces
TL;DR: In this paper, a new model for the tectonic evolution of the Tasman Sea based on dense satellite altimetry data and a new shipboard data set is presented, which can be used to calculate relative motions and their uncertainties between the Australian and the Lord Howe Rise plates from 73.6 Ma to 52 Ma when spreading ceased.
