How is plate subduction factory operated during continental collision? How do physical mixing and chemical reaction proceed at colliding continental margins of different depths? How is continental ...

Clear evidence for subduction-induced metamorphism, and thus the operation of plate tectonics on the ancient Earth has been lacking. Theoretical calculations indicate that we may have been looking for ...

Overprinting mineral relationships in amphibolites from the Franciscan Complex, California suggest metamorphic evolution from high-temperature amphibolite facies to the blueschist facies with ...
