Australia Nuna and Beyond (original) (raw)

This study explores the formation and dynamics of microcontinents in Australia, focusing on the historical geological processes that shaped regions like the Lachlan, Thomson, and New England Orogens. It discusses the role of convergent margins and the influence of collisions between terranes, particularly the Gidyea Suture, in continental accretion. The findings highlight the complexity of orocline formations and the significance of Cambrian and Neoproterozoic geological events in shaping the current geological framework.
