The existence of the Pontus plate was predicted based on anomalies left by subducted plates in the Earth's mantle, study finds.The Pontus oceanic plate that was reconstructed by Suzanna van de Lagemaat: its location in the paleo-Pacific ocean 120 million years ago, and its present relicts.
Suzanna van de Lagemaat, a Utrecht University geologist, reconstructed a huge formerly unknown tectonic plate. According to a statement by the scientists, the team at Utrecht had previously predicted the tectonic plates’ existence more than 10 years ago based on fragments of oldNow, Van de Lagemaat conducted field research and thoroughly examined the mountain belts of Japan, Borneo, the Philippines, New Guinea, and New Zealand.
To understand Earth’s geological history, comprehending tectonic plate movements was vital for the study. These movements significantly shaped the planet's ancient geography, climate shifts, and the locations of valuable metals.Upon studying the Earth's most complex plate tectonic region in the Philippines, Van de Lagemaat stated: “The Philippines is located at a complex junction of different plate systems.

Plate tectonic surprise: Geologist unexpectedly finds remnants of a lost mega-plateUtrecht University geologist Suzanna van de Lagemaat has reconstructed a massive and previously unknown tectonic plate that was once one-quarter the size of the Pacific Ocean. Her colleagues in Utrecht had predicted its existence over 10 years ago based on fragments of old tectonic plates found deep in the Earth's mantle. Van de Lagemaat reconstructed lost plates through field research and detailed investigations of the mountain belts of Japan, Borneo, the Philippines, New Guinea, and New Zealan
