Crustal melting, ductile flow, and deformation in mountain belts: Cause and effect relationships
- Abstract:
-
Exhumed sections of migmatites are beautifully exposed in the middle crust of old orogens such as the Proterozoic Wet Mountains of Colorado and young Tertiary-active orogens such as the Himalaya and Karakoram. Migmatites and leucogranites occur both on a regional scale (e.g., Greater Himalayan Sequence) and along more restricted shear zones and strike-slip faults (e.g., Karakoram, Jiale, and Red River faults). Melting and deformation are clearly diachronous across orogenic belts over space an...
