The continental crust is unique to the Earth in the solar system, and controversies remain
regarding its origin, accretion and reworking of continents. The plate tectonics theory has …

Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and
reequilibrate with Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth's …

A model for the generation of intermediate and silicic igneous rocks is presented, based on
experimental data and numerical modelling. The model is directed at subduction-related …

New thermal‐petrologic models of subduction zones are used to test the hypothesis that
intermediate‐depth intraslab earthquakes are linked to metamorphic dehydration reactions …

Late Cenozoic Andean deformation in the Pampean segment of Argentina and Chile (27°
00′–33° 30′ S) provides an exceptional opportunity to study the orogenic effects of flat …

The fourth edition of Physics of the Earth maintains the original philosophy of this classic
graduate textbook on fundamental solid earth geophysics, while being completely revised …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

High‐pressure metamorphic rocks provide evidence that in subduction zones material can
return from depths of more than 100 km to the surface. The pressure‐temperature paths …

Water and hydrous minerals play a key part in geodynamic processes at subduction zones,,
by weakening the plate boundary, aiding slip and permitting subduction—and indeed plate …

The location and motion of subducting plates relative to volcanic arcs provide a first‐order
constraint on theories of arc magmagenesis. We compile volcano‐specific subduction …
