Modeling the Inception of Supercontinent Breakup: Stress State and the Importance of Orogens

The relative significance of various geodynamic mechanisms that drive supercontinent breakup is unclear. A previous analysis of extensional stress during supercontinent breakup demonstrated the importance of the plume-push force relative to the dragging force of subduction retreat. Here, we extend t...
