Abstract Tectonically active remnants of Neo-Tethys represented by Mediterranean and western Pacific marginal seas are characterized by rapidly propagating backarc extension episodes. These appear to be triggered by random subduction nucleation events, commonly signalled by the appearance of refractory boninites in volcanic ‘proto-arcs’. As backarc basins evolve, active arcs separate from their ‘proto-arc’ remnants and may split again if more than one basin-opening episode occurs. Accreting arc… Expand
