Deep Fluids in Subducted Continental Crust

open access: yesElements, 2013
Observations from ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks combined with experimentally determined phase relations provide a framework for understanding fluid-mediated mass transfer in deeply subducted continental crust. At temperatures below 650 °C, aqueous fluids derived from dehydration reactions involving hydrous phases contain limited amounts of ...

Plate tectonics: When ancient continents collide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The geological record preserves scant evidence for early plate tectonics. Analysis of eclogites — metamorphic rocks formed in subduction zones — in the Trans-Hudson mountain belt suggests modern-style subduction may have operated 1,800 million years ...

Mass wasting at the base of the South central Chilean continental margin: the Reloca Slide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Offshore south central Chile (35° S–42° S), the morphology of the lowermost continental slope and trench floor witnesses a voluminous submarine mass-wasting event.

Continental subduction of Adria in the Apennines and relation with seismicity and hazard

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The subduction of continental lithosphere is a complex process because the buoyancy of the crust is higher than the oceanic and should resist sinking into the mantle.

Geometry and seismic properties of the subducting Cocos plate in central Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The geometry and properties of the interface of the Cocos plate beneath central Mexico are determined from the receiver functions (RFs) utilizing data from the Meso America Subduction Experiment (MASE).

Continental-scale geographic change across Zealandia during Paleogene subduction initiation [PDF]

open access: yesGeology, 2020
Abstract Data from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 371 reveal vertical movements of 1–3 km in northern Zealandia during early Cenozoic subduction initiation in the western Pacific Ocean. Lord Howe Rise rose from deep (∼1 km) water to sea level and subsided back, with peak uplift at 50 Ma in the north and between ...

Tectonic significance of changes in post-subduction Pliocene-Quaternary magmatism in the south east part of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The south-eastern part of the Carpathian–Pannonian region records the cessation of convergence between the European platform/Moesia and the Tisza–Dacia microplate.

Subduction Initiation and Mafic Intrusions: Rethinking the South China Sea-Luzon Connection

open access: yesCT Lilun yu yingyong yanjiu
The conventional view suggests that the subduction of the South China Sea plate beneath Luzon occurred due to the oceanic lithosphere’s high density, facilitating subduction initiation.

Buildup of a dynamically supported orogenic plateau: Numerical modeling of the Zagros/Central Iran case study

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
The Iranian plateau is a vast inland region with a smooth average elevation of c. 1.5 km formed at the rear of the Zagros orogen as a result of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision (i.e., over the last 30–35 Myr).

Subduction‐Induced Back‐Arc Extension Versus Far‐Field Stretching: Contrasting Modes for Continental Marginal Break‐Up

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Continental break‐up is an ingredient of plate tectonics and the Wilson cycle. During the evolution of the Tethyan Realm since the Paleozoic, a series of ribbon‐like (micro‐)continents are split from the Gondwana and drifted northwards to the Eurasian ...
