Episodes of Abnormally High Intensity of Tectonic Dislocations

Аннотация

It is shown for the structures of the Late Permian–Early Triassic, Early–Late Cretaceous, and Early–Middle Miocene stages in the formation of the eastern margin of Asia that the evolution of the Earth’s crust included periods of tectonic reconstructions, which occurred practically instantaneously from the geological viewpoint. These periods are often shorter than the resolution of both local isotope and paleontological methods of dating.
