Exhumation of high-pressure rocks driven by slab rollback
Rocks metamorphosed under high-pressure (HP) and ultra high-pressure (UHP) conditions in subduction zones come back to the surface relatively soon after their burial and at rates comparable to plate boundary velocities. In the Mediterranean realm, their occurrence in several belts related to a single subduction event shows that the burial-exhumation cycle is a recurrent transient process. Using...
متن کاملImmediate and delayed signal of slab breakoff in Oligo/Miocene Molasse deposits from the European Alps
High-resolution 32-20 Ma-old stratigraphic records from the Molasse foreland basin situated north of the Alps, and Gonfolite Lombarda conglomerates deposited on the southern Alpine margin, document two consecutive sedimentary responses - an immediate and delayed response - to slab breakoff beneath the central Alps c. 32-30 Ma ago. The first signal, which occurred due to rebound and surface upli...
متن کاملSlab breakoff A model for syncollisional magmatism and tectonics in the Alps
Slab breakoff is the buoyancy-driven detachment of subducted oceanic lithosphere from the light continental lithosphere that follows it during continental collision. In a recent paper Davies and von Blanckenburg [1994] have assessed the physical conditions leading to breakoff by quantitative thermomechanical modeling and have predicted various consequences in the evolution of mountain belts. Br...
متن کاملFlat slab deformation caused by interplate suction force
In Table S1, we provide information on the events we used for the receiver functions (RFs). The time-axis RFs are shown in Figure S1. With Figure S2 and Text S1, we derive the relationship between the change in estimated Moho depth and the change in the Vp/Vs ratio used in the reference model to convert Ps arrival time to depth. With Figure S3 and Text S2, we rationalize our observation of posi...
متن کاملWhat brought them up? Exhumation of the Dabie Shan ultrahigh-pressure rocks
Metamorphic coesite and diamond in the Dabie Shan, eastern China, testify to subduction of continental crust to >100 km depth. Exhumation of these ultrahigh-pressure rocks through the crust encompassed two stages. (1) South-dipping foliation, southeastplunging stretching lineation, lineation-parallel isoclinal folds, and boudins indicate extreme subhorizontal shortening and subvertical extensio...
