Abstract:The Gondwana supercontinent was an accretion of several cratons from different landmasses, namely South America, Antarctica, Africa, Madagascar, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent. The splitting of Gondwanaland during the Mesozoic led to the gradual rifting of these different cratons over geologic time. In this study, crustal structures are imaged by modeling receiver functions to understand the differences in the nature of the crust that was once part of Precambrian Gondwanaland. On comparing the overall … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
