During the Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic the two continents of Baltica and Laurentia
witnessed the break-up of one supercontinent, Rodinia, and the formation of another, but …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Using full-colour palaeogeographical maps from the Cambrian to the present, this
interdisciplinary volume explains how plate motions and surface volcanism are linked to …

We present a model proposing that oceanic lithosphere detaches from continental
lithosphere during continental collision (slab breakoff), allowing an explanation of syn-to …

Interaction of deeply subducted continental blocks with the upper mantle peridotite is a likely
process, but it has never been demonstrated. New geochemical and isotope tracer analyses …

Crust extracted from the mantle in arcs is refined into continental crust in subduction zones.
During sediment subduction, subduction erosion, arc subduction, and continent subduction …

Various types of eclogite, including coesite-bearing varieties formed under high-P-high-T
conditions (up to 27 kbar, 700–800° C), and glaucophane schist occur in the Dabie …

The sizes of continental blocks, basaltic oceanic plateaus, and island arcs that would cause
collisional orogenesis when they enter a subduction zone are calculated in an analysis …

The exhumation of high‐pressure metamorphic rocks requires either the removal of the
overburden that caused the high pressures, or the transport of the metamorphic rocks …
