Exhumation of (ultra-)high-pressure terranes: concepts and mechanisms

Exhumation of (ultra-)high-pressure terranes: concepts and mechanisms

The formation and exhumation of high and ultrahigh-pressure, (U)HP, rocks of crustal origin appears to be ubiquitous during Phanerozoic plate subduction and continental collision events. Exhumation of (U)HP material has been shown in some orogens to have occurred only once, during a single short-lived event; in other cases exhumation appears to have occurred multiple discrete times or during a ...

Oceanic- and continental-type metamorphic terranes: Occurrence and exhumation mechanisms

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...

consequence analysis of the leakage, ignition and explosion during high pressure sour gas injection process to the oil reservoir

there is no doubt that human being needs to become integrated with industry and industry needs to be progressed, daily. on the other hand, serious events in industrial units specially in oil industries has been shown that such damages and events are industry related ones. the consequence of such events and damages which resulted in chemical and poisoned explosions and loss of life and property ...

Exhumation of high-pressure metapelites and coeval crustal extension in the Alpujarride complex (Betic Cordillera)

The current configuration of the Alpujarride complex (Befic Orogen) comprises a stack of thinned tectonic units, made up mainly of continental crest. P T path modelling in different levels of an Alpujarride unit (the Salobrefia tectonic unit) reveals a high-pressure metamorphic stage followed by subsequent decompression at nearly isothermal conditions. Nevertheless, the P T conditions differ fr...
