WebbThe ocean formed when Pannotia disintegrated, Proto-Laurasia (Laurentia, Baltica, and Siberia) rifted away from a supercontinent that would become Gondwana. Proto-Tethys formed between these two supercontinents. The ocean was bordered by Panthalassic Ocean to the north, separating it from Panthalassa by island arcs and Kazakhstania.

Webb31 aug. 2024 · As the extension enhanced, the spreading of the Proto-Tethys Ocean was accompanied by subduction and collision, which resulted in a nearly linear subduction zone. Since the Late Cambrian, a continuous oblique subduction and induced sinistral shearing produced an initial bending of the Proto-Tethys subduction zone, ... WebbIt is potentially a significance pluton that preserved the magmatic/metamorphic evolution of the active continental margin of the vanished Ocean of Proto-Tethys.
