I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:17, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

I'll copyedit as I go; please revert if I make any mistakes.

• Not an issue for GA, but [1] is a dead link.

Remedied.

• The 2.9–2.5 Camusu Aike volcanic field: what do these numbers refer to?

Fixed.

• Patagonia is a region where three tectonic plates, the Antarctic Plate, the Nazca Plate, the Scotia Plate and the South America Plate, interact: presumably should be four, not three, unless one is incorrectly listed.

Fixed.

• Is there a possible link for "transtensional"? Few non-specialists will have any idea what it means.

Now replaced with clearer wording.

• rocks from Pali-Aike contain fluid inclusions of carbon dioxide: similarly "fluid inclusion" needs a link if possible.

As above.

• Sedimentation ceased in the region 14 million years ago, probably because by that time the rain shadow of the Andes was effective in the area: I don't follow this; sedimentation occurs where there is a body of water, so why would a rain shadow matter if the area is below sea level? Or was the sedimentation from lakes?

From rivers; at first it was marine and later it became fluvial.

• 300–150 millimetres per year (0.37–0.19 in/Ms): what does the "Ms" mean?

That I didn't check the output of the "convert" template; now it gives a sensical unit.
