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 کاملPhysics-controlled thickness of shear zones caused by viscous heating: Implications for crustal shear localization
We evaluate the parameters that control the thickness of ductile shear zones that are generated by viscous heating. We employ two-dimensional thermomechanical numerical models to simulate shear zone development under compression. Results show that the shear zone thickness is essentially independent on the numerical resolution and the initial size of a weak inclusion that triggers shear localiza...

Kashmar granitoids of Taknar zone, in north part of Lut block, intruded into volcanic rocks and consist of granites, granodiorites, monzodiorite and gabbrodiorites. They are composed of mainly plagioclase, alkali-feldspar, quartz, amphibole, biotite and pyroxene minerals. Harker diagram variation, including negative correlations CaO, MgO, FeO, TiO2 and V and positive correlations K2O, Rb, Ba, a...
