Northwest Pacific-Izanagi subduction histories along Eurasia are poorly constrained due to extensive subduction, which partially consumed the western Pacific plate and the entire Izanagi plate, its hypothesized conjugate margin. Here we reconstruct NW Pacific-Izanagi plate tectonics since Cretaceous times by mapping and ... and global tomography, and re-creating the vanished Izanagi plate as its conjugate rift flank. Unfolding of ... Marianas. We add our restored western Pacific and Izanagi plates to a global plate model to reveal ...
