The formation of Gondwana results from a complex history, which can be linked to many orogenic sutures. Those sutures have often been gathered in the literature under broad orogenies — in particular the Eastern and Western Pan-African Orogenies — although their ages may vary a lot within those wide belts. The PANALESIS model is a plate tectonic model, which aims at reconstructing 100% of the Earth’s surface, and proposes a geologically, geometrically, kinematically, and geodynamically coherent solution for the evolution of the Earth from 888 Ma to 444 Ma. Although the model confirms that the assembly of Gondwana can be considered complete after the Damara and Kuunga orogenies, it shows above all that the detachment and amalgamation of “terranes” is a roughly continuous process, which even persisted after the Early Cambrian. By using the wealth of Plate Tectonics, the PANALESIS model makes it possible to derive numerous additional data and maps, such as the age of the sea-floor everywhere on the planet at every time slices, for instance. The evolution of accretion rates at mid-oceanic ridges and subduction rates at trenches are shown here, and yields results consistent with previous estimates. Understanding the variation of the global tectonic activity of our planet through time is key to link plate tectonic modelling with other disciplines of Earth sciences.

888 – 444 Ma全球板块构造重建，重点是冈瓦纳的形成

冈瓦纳的形成源于复杂的历史，可以与许多造山缝合线联系在一起。那些缝合线通常是在广泛的造山作用下，特别是在东部和西部泛非造山运动下收集的，尽管它们的年龄在这些大范围内可能相差很大。PANALESIS模型是板块构造模型，旨在重建100％的地球表面，并提出了从888 Ma到444 Ma的地球演化的地质，几何，运动和地球动力学相干解决方案。尽管该模型证实了在达玛拉和昆加造山运动之后冈瓦纳的组装可以被认为是完整的，但最重要的是，它表明“地层”的分离和融合是一个大致连续的过程，甚至在早寒武世之后仍持续存在。通过利用丰富的板块构造学，PANALESIS模型使得可以导出大量其他数据和地图，例如在每个时间段上行星上各处海底的年龄。此处显示了洋中脊的增生速率和海沟的俯冲速率的变化，其结果与以前的估计一致。了解地球的全球构造活动随时间的变化是将板块构造模型与地球科学的其他学科联系起来的关键。并得出与先前估计一致的结果。了解地球的全球构造活动随时间的变化是将板块构造模型与地球科学的其他学科联系起来的关键。并得出与先前估计一致的结果。了解地球的全球构造活动随时间的变化是将板块构造模型与地球科学的其他学科联系起来的关键。
