Ancient orogens and modern analogues

Ancient orogens and modern analogues /

"Plate tectonics provide a unifying conceptual framework for the under-standing of Phanerozoic orogens. More controversially, recent syntheses apply these principles as far back as the Early Archaean. Many ancient orogens are, however, poorly preserved and the processes responsible for them are...
