Subduction erosion, which occurs at all convergent plate boundaries associated with
magmatic arcs formed on crystalline forearc basement, is an important process for chemical …

Chile is an elongated country, running in a north-south direction for more than 30° along a
subduction zone. Its climate is progressively wetter and colder from north to south. This …

In this classic segment, many tectonic processes, like flat-subduction, terrane accretion and
steepening of the subduction, among others, provide a robust framework for their …

Subduction zone magmatism is a major control of volcanism, the generation of modern
continental crust and the formation of economically important porphyry Cu–(Mo–Au) …

The composition of the convecting asthenospheric mantle that feeds the mantle wedge can
be investigated via rear-arc lavas that have minimal slab influence. This “ambient mantle …

Crystal-melt separation has been invoked as a mechanism that generates compositional
variabilities in magma reservoirs hosted within the Earth's crust. However, the way phase …

Subduction zones, such as the Andean convergent margin of South America, are sites of
active continental growth and crustal recycling. The composition of arc magmas, and …

Abstract The Andes of central Chile are composed mostly of Cenozoic volcanic rocks,
erupted during the opening and subsequent inversion of the intra-arc volcano-tectonic …

Mantle flow triggered by subduction has a crucial role in the evolution of surface tectonics
and volcanism. In this Review, we explore how patterns of mantle flow, particularly those in …

We assess the role of inherited structures on the Meso‐Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the
main Andean Cordillera in central Chile (33° 30′ S‐34° S). Based on extensive field …
