Mountains are usually formed at what are calledconvergent plate boundaries, meaning a boundary at which two plates are moving towards one another. This type of boundary eventually results in a collision. What is a real life example of a transform boundary? The most famous example of this is th...
The convergent tectonic evolution of the Southern Urals started as the Magnitogorsk island arc, which had developed in the paleo-Uralian ocean, began to collide with the margin of Baltica (Zonenshain et al., 1984, Zonenshain et al., 1990, Puchkov, 1997, Brown and Spadea, 1999, Puchkov, ...

provide the age of amalgamation and associated closure of the ocean between these blocks (e.g., Enkin et al.1992; Wu et al.2017; Huang et al.2018a). For example, the North and South China Blocks shared positions of coeval paleomagnetic poles from the Middle to Late Jurassic (Gilder and...
The first one (subduction transference) is characterized by formation of a new plate boundary in the weak back-arc lithosphere and subduction of the arc at this boundary. During this process, a part of the arc crust may be accreted to the continental margin, but a significant portion of the...
