The Pan-African event is widely distributed in East Antarctica (EA) craton, including both the coastal regions and.interior of the EA. From aspects of the shear zones, granites, pegmatites, time of high-grade metamorphism and detrital zircon.age peaks of the downflowing sediments from the inland, the Pan-African event in the EA and adjacent areas in the Gondwana.reconstruction, like SE Africa, southern India and SW Australia, was described in the paper. The water or fluid available along.the shear zones was responsible for retrogression of the earlier, e.g., Grenville age, high-grade outcrops to later Pan-African.amphibolite to granulite facies metamorphism. In geochemistry, the granites are generally anorogenic, ocassionally with some.gabbros or dolerite dykes, showing sign of bimodal feature. Meanwhile, the event has influenced most isotopic systems,.including the U-Pb, Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr and Ar-Ar systems, giving Pan-African apparent ages. Spatially, the Pan-African event is.demonstrated from possibly local granitic magmatism, to wider medium-high grade metamorphism, and mostly widespread in.resetting for some isotope systems, suggesting the prevailing thermal effect of the event. Before Gondwana formation, local.depressions in the EA may have been filled with sediments, implying the initial breakup period of the Rodinia. The later.Pan-Gondwana counterrotating cogs shaped the interstitial fold belts between the continent blocks and formed a set of shear.zones. The mafic underplating in the Gondwana may be responsible for the typical features of the Pan-African event. The event.may be an overwhelmingly extensional and transcurrent tectonics in mechanism and is a possible response of the plate.movement surrounding the continent swarms in the non-stable interior of the yet consolidated Gondwana.
