The Wilson cycle theory is based upon the idea of an ongoing cycle of ocean closure, continental collision, and a formation of new ocean on the former suture zone.The Wilson Cycle can be described in six phases of tectonic plate motion: the separation of a continent (continental rift), formation of a young ocean at the seafloor, formation of ocean basins during continental drift, initiation of ...
The Wilson cycle of seabed expansion and contraction (associated with the Supercontinent cycle) bears his name, in recognition of his iconic observation that the present-day Atlantic Ocean appears along a former suture zone [8] and his development in a classic 1968 paper [9] of what was later named the "Wilson cycle" in 1975 by Kevin C. A ...
The Caledonian Wilson cycle commenced with the continental break-up of Rodinia [17] and the opening of the Iapetus ocean about 616–583 Ma ago. [18] [19] [20] The Iapetus was at its widest in the Late Cambrian–Early Ordovician [21] [1] before it began to close by subduction of Iapetus oceanic crust along the Gondawanan and Laurentian margins starting between 500 and 488 Ma ago.
On Thursday, former Clemson baseball infielder Weston Wilson made history when he recorded his first career MLB cycle for the Phillies. Here's more:
The Wilson cycle describes the cyclicity in plate tectonics by forming supercontinents (Rodinia, Pangaea) and its breakup in hundreds of millions of years. It is named after the canadian geologist John Tuzo Wilson (1908-1993). Date: 1 November 2010, 01:00 (UTC) Source: File:Wilson-cycle hg.png: Author: Hannes Grobe 08:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
