New Concepts in Ophiolites, Oceanic Lithosphere and Podiform Chromites - ScienceDirectPlate tectonics is the most spectacular geodynamic event on Earth, and is fundamentally related to large-scale volcanic activity and earthquake, sea-land changes, tremendous orogeny and plateau formation. Ophiolites are...
However, the data also revealed many features that the theory did not anticipate – mid-ocean ridges that propagated into old, thick oceanic lithosphere; spreading centers that overlapped (sometimes forming microplates that rotate rapidly between larger plates for a few million years); and a very ...

Typical continental arcs occur at the western margin of the North and South American, and the Sunda arc in the northeastern margin of the Indian Ocean, where oceanic lithosphere is subducted beneath continental lithosphere without a marine basin behind the volcanic arc; rather, the arc is built ...
Were the Deccan Flood Basalts Derived in Part from Ancient Oceanic Crust Within the Indian Continental Lithosphere? Deep mantle plumes supposedly incorporate deeply subducted eclogitized oceanic crust, and continental flood basalts (CFBs) are now thought by some to be de... HC Sheth - 《Gondwana...
oceanic lithosphere, both of which were preserved during the last stage of accretion/collision. Percival et al. (2006) provide a more comprehensive discussion. A major inference from these results and others in the Superior Province is that plate tectonic processes, as we currently understand them...
The type of lithosphere subducted between India and Tibet since the Paleocene remains controversial; it has been suggested to be either entirely continental, oceanic, or a mixture of the two. As the subduction history of this lost lithosphere strongly sh
