The tectonic evolution of the Transantarctic Mountains appears to have begun when Antarctica broke away from Australia during the late Cretaceous and is ongoing, creating along the way some of the longest mountain ranges (at 3500 kilometers) formed by rift flank uplift and associated continental rifting. The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) separate East and West Antarctica. The rift system that formed them is caused by a reactivation of crust along the East Antarctic Craton. This rifting or seafloor spreading causes plate movement that results in a nearby convergent boundary which then forms the mountain range. The exact processes responsible for making the Transantarctic Mountains are still debated today. This results in a large variety of proposed theories that attempt to decipher the tec

| - La evolución tectónica de las montañas Transantárticas parece haber comenzado cuando la Antártida se separó de Australia durante el Cretácico Superior y sigue en curso, creando algunas de las cadenas montañosas más largas (3500 km) formadas por el levantamiento del flanco de la zona de rift asociado con el rifting continental. Las montañas Transantárticas forman una cordillera que separa la Antártida Oriental de la Antártida Occidental. El sistema de rift que las formó se produjo por una reactivación de la corteza a lo largo del cratón antártico oriental. Este rifting, o expansión del lecho marino, causa el movimiento de la placa tectónica que produce un borde convergente cercano donde se está formando la cordillera.
