TL;DR: For the first time, a continuous full-plate model spanning 1 Ga to the present day was presented in this paper, which includes a revised and improved model for the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian (1000-520 Ma) that connects with models of the Phanerozoic.

TL;DR: The Timanide, Caledonide and Uralide orogens in the Eurasian high Arctic and their relationships to the p... as discussed by the authors have been studied in the literature.

Arctida between Rodinia and Pangea
TL;DR: In this paper, a new outlook on the history of Arctida was proposed, a continental mass that combined sialic blocks of the current Eurasian shelf of the Arctic Ocean.

Tectonic models for accretion of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt
TL;DR: The Central Asian Orogenic Belt ( c. 1000-250 Ma) formed by accretion of island arcs, ophiolites, oceanic islands, seamounts, accretionary wedges, and oceanic plateaux and microcontinents in a manner comparable with that of circum-Pacific Mesozoic-Cenozoic orogens is studied in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that Laurentia and Baltica shared a common drift history for the time interval 750-600 Ma as they rotated clockwise and drifted southward from an equatorial position during the opening of the Proto-Pacific between Laurentia, and the two continents of Baltica and Laurentia witnessed the break-up of one supercontinent, Rodinia and the formation of another, but less long-lived, Pangea.
