Subduction Duration and Slab Dip
- GeologyGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
- 2020
The dip angles of slabs are among the clearest characteristics of subduction zones, but the factors that control them remain obscure. Here, slab dip angles and subduction parameters, including…
Late Triassic to Early Jurassic Plutonism in south Chile (34°-37°S): Its significance for the geodynamic evolution in the transition from Gondwana to Andean orogeny
- Geology
- 2008
Abstract The South American margin is a long-lived active margin since the Late Carboniferous (>300 Ma). Two tectonomagmatic stages have been documented for this time at the margin: The Late…
Neogene seismotectonics of the south-central Chile margin
- Geology
- 2007
(TYPE=abstract)The Andean orogen is the most outstanding example of mountain building caused by the subduction of oceanic below continental lithosphere. The Andes formed by the subduction of the…
Igneous Rock Associations 25. Pre-Pliocene Andean Magmatism in Chile
- GeologyGeoscience Canada
- 2020
Andean-type magmatism and the term ‘andesite’ are often used as the norm for the results of subduction of oceanic lithosphere under a continent, and the typical rock formed. Although the Andes chain…
Cenozoic Orogenic Evolution of the Southern Central Andes (32–36°S)
- Geology
- 2016
This review explores the complex interactions of endogenic and exogenic processes in the segment of the Andes that straddle a transition from the Pampean flat slab to a normal subduction segment…
Late Oligocene–early Miocene submarine volcanism and deep-marine sedimentation in an extensional basin of southern Chile: Implications for the tectonic development of the North Patagonian Andes
- Geology
- 2016
The Chilean margin has been used as the model of an ocean-continent convergent system dominated by compression and active mountain building as a consequence of the strong mechanical coupling between…
Geology, geochemistry and geometallurgy of the Productora Cu-Au-Mo deposit, Chile
- Geology
- 2016
The Productora Cu-Au-Mo deposit is hosted by a hydrothermal breccia complex in the Coastal Cordillara of Region III, northern Chile. Mineralisation at Productora extends discontinuously over 8 km in…
