Eastern Turkish high plateau as a small Turkic-type orogen: Implications for post-collisional crust-forming processes in Turkic-type orogens
Post-collisional magmatism may be generated by extensive crustal melting in Tibet-type
collisional environments or by falling out of slabs from under giant subduction–accretion …
