The Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) is a 1000km long Neogene continental arc
showing a large variation in composition and volcanic style, and an intra-arc extensional …

Tectonic or subduction erosion refers to the removal of upper-plate material from the forearc
at convergent margins. Subduction erosion has been suggested to represent a major …

Both Cretaceous arc-type and intraplate rocks are widely distributed in SE China, in
association with subduction of the paleo-Pacific Plate. However, it remains unclear whether …

This study focuses on the production of convergent margin calc-alkaline andesites by
crystallization–differentiation of basaltic magmas in the lower to middle crust. Previous …

High-precision electron microprobe analyses were obtained on olivine grains from
Klyuchevskoy, Shiveluch and Gorely volcanoes in the Kamchatka Arc; Irazú, Platanar and …

In addition to fluids, the concept of sediment‐derived melts infiltrating the fore‐arc mantle
during subduction initiation has been proposed based on studies of modern subduction …

Convergent margin volcanism is ultimately fed by magmas generated in the mantle, but the
connection between the mantle and the eruption at the surface is typically obscured by …

Eastern Pontides are hosted to many granitoids with different composition, size and age
ranges from Paleozoic to Cenozoic. Of these granitoids, especially those of the Cenozoic …

The paradox of the Earth's continental crust is that although this reservoir is generally
regarded as having differentiated from the mantle, it has an andesitic bulk composition that …

Crystal zoning as well as temperature and pressure estimates from phenocryst phase
equilibria are used to constrain the architecture of the intermediate-sized magmatic system …
