The Late- Cretaceous volcanic rocks from Talesh area (western Alborz): chemical variation, crystallization condition, hygrometry and tectonic setting [PDF]
In the Talesh area (western Alborz), a thick sedimentary- volcanic association formed in a littoral- deltaic environment during the Late Cretaceous. The extrusives comprise volcanoclastics (tuffs), lava flows (pillow and massive) and basic dykes.

Mineralogy and thermobarometry of metamorphic basement from the Kabul Block (Eastern Afghanistan) [PDF]
The cratonic basement in the Kabul district is dominated by gneiss, migmatite, schist, and amphibolite and is characterized by extensive outcrops. Orthopyroxene and garnet are the index minerals of some of the gneisse, hence, they are considered as ...

Metamorphic evolutions of high-pressure low-temperature units from ophiolitic mélange of North Soghan (NE Hajiabad, Hormozgan) [PDF]
The Seghin metamorphic complex of ophiolitic mélange from the north Soghan, composed of metamorphic suites varying in protolith and metamorphic grade. The rock units of this complex have been metamorphosed under PT conditions of pumpellyite- actinolite ...

Old/New Subduction Zone Paradigms as Seen From the Cascades
This paper briefly reviews the magmatic manifestations of volcanic arcs and aspects of how such magmas form. Common concepts about “how subduction zones work” are reassessed—with particular emphasis on the atypical Cascades volcanic arc.

Paleozoic high-temperature metamorphism and deformation related to Proto-Tethys closure and Paleo-Tethys opening in the north of Central-East Iranian Microcontinent, based on the mineralogy of Airakan metagranite [PDF]
Granites are one of the most abundant rock groups formed the continental crust, and are considered for investigating the temperature conditions of their formation and metamorphism. Thus, they are a unique window to magmatism and tectonic evolution of the

Variations in the P‐T‐t of Deformation in a Crustal‐Scale Shear Zone in Metagranite
Deformation in crustal‐scale shear zones occurs over a range of pressure‐temperature‐time (P‐T‐t) conditions, both because they may be vertically extensive structures that simultaneously affect material from the lower crust to the surface, and because ...
