Conditioned duality between supercontinental ‘assembly’ and ‘breakup’ LIPs
A compilation of 178 more precise ages on 10 potential Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) across southern Africa, is compared to Earth’s supercontinental cycles, where 5 more prominent LIP-events all formed during the assembly of supercontinents, rather than during breakup. This temporal bias is confirm...
