beneath the RMT north of ~52° N (Fig.3a), where its dip changes to sub-vertical and then east-dipping within a short (<50 km) distance (see BB′ in Fig.2h, j). Farther north, the boundary merges into the northern Rocky Mountain Trench-Tintina Fault (RMT-TF) system at ~54°...
and European coal deposits could be explained if the two continents had formerly been connected, a relationship otherwise difficult to account for. In 1908Frank B.

The closure time and style of the PAO are important for understanding the geological reconstructions of the East Asian blocks in the assembly of the Pangea supercontinent and the Caledonian orogeny. More research is needed to arrive at a definitive conclusion regarding the final closure time and ...
The Indian Plate has a tectonic drift starting at ~300 Ma when Pangea segregated [1,2]. During this displacement, the Indian Plate detached from the African Plate and traveled ~9000 km, leading to the closure of the Tethys Ocean and the formation of the younger Himalayas orogenic belt [3,...
