“…The Anadyr-Bristol arc terrane was formed between Chukotka and Alaska at the northern Pacific margin (Zonenshain et al 1990;Parfenov et al 1993Parfenov et al , 2001Marlow et al 1994;Nokleberg et al 2005). Back-arc extension, behind the Aleutian arc, formed the Bering Sea between Chukotka and Alaska (Ben-Avraham & Cooper 1981;Zonenshain et al 1990;Cooper et al 1992;Chekhovich et al 1999;Walker et al 2003;Verzhbitsky et al 2007). According to Oldow et al (1989), fragments of the Cretaceous Kula plate were captured behind the volcanic composite complex, formed at 55-50 Ma.…”

Sixty-three maps illustrate geodynamic evolution and development of palaeoenvironments and palaeolithofacies of the Circum-Arctic region during Phanerozoic times. After the break-up of Rodinia and Pannotia in the Early Palaeozoic, the major Arctic plates Baltica, Siberia and Laurentia drifted from their original position around the South Pole towards the Supercontinent Pangea, which existed in the equatorial position during Late Palaeozoic and Early Mesozoic times. During the Mesozoic and Cenozoic plates gathered around newly formed Arctic Ocean. Large continental masses were assembled from major plates and numerous small plates and terranes on the northern hemisphere and around the North Pole. All the continents were by now connected. Carbonates were abundant in Siberia and Laurentia during Palaeozoic times. Clastic sedimentation prevailed during Mesozoic and Cenozoic times. The distribution of lithofacies shows climatic change associated with continental assembly and disassembly as well as with the steady northward drift of the continents.

“…Simultaneously with the continuous plate tectonics, the Earth's interior also experiences pulsed plume tectonics, which manifests itself by the family of contemporaneous oceanic uplifts and continental traps or Large Igneous Provinces (Yale and Carpenter, 1998;Wignall, 2001;Verzhbitsky et al, 2006Verzhbitsky et al, , 2007, the chains of volcanic islands. "Plumes are rising upwards as if not noticing the mantle convection", and the simultaneous display of the two tectonics needs explanation .…”

“…According to seismic refraction data, however, the Vityaz Ridge has a crustal thickness of only~20 km compared to 30-35 km of the continental Kurile Island Arc crust (Zlobin et al, 2008 [47]). Zonenshain et al (1990) and Verzhbitsky and Kononov (2010) [48,49] propose that the Vityaz Ridge was part of a Mesozoic intra-oceanic island arc which has been accreted to the Kurile Arc.…”

Here we present the first radiometric age and geochemical (major and trace element and isotope) data for samples from the Hydrographer Ridge, a back arc volcano of the Kurile Island Arc, and a newly discovered chain of volcanoes (“Sonne Volcanoes”) on the northwestern continental slope of the Kurile Basin on the opposite side of the arc. The 40Ar/39Ar age and geochemical data show that Hydrographer Ridge (3.2–3.3 Ma) and the “Sonne Volcanoes” (25.3–25.9 Ma) have very similar trace element and isotope characteristics to those of the Kurile Island Arc, indicating derivation from a common magma source. We conclude that the age of the “Sonne Volcanoes” marks the time of opening of the Kurile Basin, implying slow back arc spreading rates of 1.3–1.8 cm/y. Combined with published data from the Kurile fore arc, our data suggest that the processes of subduction, Kurile Basin opening and frontal arc extension occurred synchronously and that extension in the rear part and in the frontal part of the Kurile Island Arc must have been triggered by the same mechanism.
