From subduction to collision in the northern Tibetan plateau : evidence from the early Silurian clastic rocks, northwestern China [PDF]
, 2012 The Qilian Orogen records early Paleozoic collisional suturing of the Qaidam Block and the Central Qilian Block to the North China Craton. The composition and U-Pb age of detrital zircons and the composition of Cr-spinels from the Early Silurian ...

Continental response to active ridge subduction [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2006 Apatite fission track ages from a ∼2000 m elevation transect from the Patagonian fold and thrust belt (47.5°S) allow us to quantify the denudational and orographic response of the upper plate to active ridge subduction. Accelerated cooling started at 17 Ma, predating the onset of ridge collision (14–10 Ma), and was followed by reheating between 10 and ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Recycling of molybdenum isotopes in continental subduction zones remains debated. In this contribution, we re‐visit the Mo isotope compositions of the Sailipu post‐collisional ultrapotassic rocks in the Himalaya‐southern Tibet orogen. These ultrapotassic

Two-sided asymmetric subduction; implications for tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran [PDF]
, 2011 West directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones.

The consequences of crustal melting in continental subduction [PDF]
Lithosphere, 2009 Orogens grow in part by thrusting and burial of continental crust, in some cases, into the mantle by continental subduction. Deeply buried continental crust may partially melt during ascent, adding magma to the overlying continental crust, creating a continental plateau, and accounting for the large melt volumes observed in modern and ancient orogens ...

From oceanic to continental subduction: Implications for the geochemical and redox evolution of the supra-subduction mantle [PDF]
Geosphere, 2018 Processes taking place in subduction zones are the main controller of the chemical cycle of volatile and incompatible elements in the Earth system. Metamorphic devolatilization reactions occurring during slab burial play a key role in the transfer of elements to the supra-subduction mantle, from forearc to sub-arc depth.

Ocean-continent subduction cannot be initiated without preceding intra-oceanic subduction!
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The formation of new subduction zones is a key element of plate tectonics and the Wilson cycle, and many different controlling mechanisms have been proposed to initiate subduction.
