The 23 pages that link to Wilson cycle, each with the reason it gives.

• Plate tectonicsRelated: The grand pattern of plate motion: oceans are born, widen, shrink and close.

• SubductionRelated: Subduction closes oceans opened at ridges, driving the cycle from one supercontinent to the next.

• RodiniaRelated: Its stages help explain ocean opening during Rodinia’s breakup.

• Tectonic plateRelated: Plate motions assemble and break apart supercontinents across geological time.

• Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chainRelated: The chain provided evidence that oceanic plates move across long-lived volcanic sources.

• Supercontinent cycleRelated: The ocean-basin lifecycle that composes the larger rhythm of supercontinent assembly and dispersal.

• Farallon PlateRelated: The Farallon story records the destruction of oceanic lithosphere during an ocean basin's closure.

• Earth's crustRelated: It describes how continental crust and ocean basins are reorganized over geological time.

• PannotiaRelated: Pannotia’s proposed history is one episode of ocean opening and closure in this cycle.

• SupercontinentRelated: Its repeated ocean opening and closure describes the assembly and breakup cycle.

• Continental fragmentRelated: Fragments record stages of ocean opening and later closure in this cycle.

• Seafloor spreading hypothesisRelated: Generalized spreading and subduction into a repeating lifecycle of ocean basins.

• Oceanic basinRelated: It describes the basin-scale sequence from continental rifting to ocean closure.

• PaleocontinentRelated: It links fragment separation to later incorporation into new landmasses.
