Subduction erosion and arc volcanism
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Anatomy and global context of the Andes: Main geologic features and the Andean orogenic cycle
VA Ramos - Memoir of the Geological Society of …, 2009 - bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar
The Andes make up the largest orogenic system developed by subduction of oceanic crust
along a continental margin. Subduction began soon after the breakup of Rodinia in Late …

Multiple plates subducting beneath Colombia, as illuminated by seismicity and velocity from the joint inversion of seismic and gravity data
Subduction beneath the northernmost Andes in Colombia is complex. Based on seismicity
distributions, multiple segments of slab appear to be subducting, and arc volcanism ceases …

Oceanic residual depth measurements, the plate cooling model, and global dynamic topography
Convective circulation of the mantle causes deflections of the Earth's surface that vary as a
function of space and time. Accurate measurements of this dynamic topography are …

Structure and serpentinization of the subducting Cocos plate offshore Nicaragua and Costa Rica
The Cocos plate experiences extensional faulting as it bends into the Middle American
Trench (MAT) west of Nicaragua, which may lead to hydration of the subducting mantle. To …

Across‐arc versus along‐arc S r‐Nd‐Pb isotope variations in the E cuadorian volcanic arc
Previous studies of the Ecuadorian arc (1° N–2° S) have revealed across‐arc geochemical
trends that are consistent with a decrease in mantle melting and slab dehydration away from …
