Earth's heterogeneous mantle: A product of convection-driven interaction between crust and mantle
A Stracke - Chemical Geology, 2012 - Elsevier
Ubiquitous heterogeneity in the Earth's mantle has been documented by numerous
chemical and isotopic analyses of oceanic basalts. Despite the ever-increasing amount of …

Kinematic constraints on buckling a lithospheric-scale orocline along the northern margin of Gondwana: A geologic synthesis
The Paleozoic Variscan orogeny was a large-scale collisional event involving amalgamation
of multiple continents and micro-continents. Existing data, suggests oroclinal buckling of an …

Crustal eclogitization and lithosphere delamination in orogens
NJ Krystopowicz, CA Currie - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2013 - Elsevier
Many orogens, including the Central Andes and Himalayas, are characterized by wide areas
that have undergone upper crustal shortening and surface uplift. The behaviour of the deep …

Magmatism during continental collision, subduction, exhumation and mountain collapse in collisional orogenic belts and continental net growth: A perspective
Continental orogens on Earth can be classified into accretionary orogen and collisional
orogen. Magmatism in orogens occurs in every periods of an orogenic cycle, from oceanic …

Oroclines: Thick and thin
An orocline is a thrust belt or orogen that is curved in map-view due to it having been bent or
buckled about a vertical axis of rotation. Two distinct types of oroclines are recognized …
