When Continents Collide: Geodynamics and Geochemistry of Ultrahigh-Pressure Rocks Hardback
Edited by Bradley Hacker, J.G. Liou
Part of the Petrology and Structural Geology series
Hardback
Description
2Gpa has increased to more than 15. This indicates that subduction of continental fragments to depths of 100-150 km may have played a significant role in the formation of mountain belts. This volume brings together the geochemical, geophysical and geodynamical approaches to study the processes active during ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) tectonics. The collection of papers demarkates the frontier of our understanding of the creation, preservation, and exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure rocks. Audience: This volume will be of interest to any earth scientist interested in ultrahigh pressure processes and the formation and modification of continental crust.
