... that the Antarctic Peninsula has experienced subduction for over 200 million years (subduction zone pictured)?

Article new enough, long enough. AGF on the hook source. Otherwise fine. Was fascinated by the maps of the world at different dates. Image is unclear small and takes zonks to load large. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:51, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Close paraphrasing concerns. Example: "It is believed that the TPG rocks were uprooted from their original oceanic-type basement and are allochthonous with respect to underlying crystalline basement rock of the Antarctic Peninsula" vs "It is suggested that the TPG rocks were uprooted from their original oceanic-type basement and are allochthonous with respect to the crystalline basement of the Antarctic Peninsula."

I do not see any problem with the wording, this is an article on a technical geology subject and as with many hard science topics it is not possible to say the right thing without using the same words as they are very specific in nature.--Kev min § 19:30, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I have reworded it slightly so should be less close. But language may not be as precise now. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:45, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Good to go then. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:41, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
