Continental Growth and Recycling in Convergent Orogens with Large Turbidite Fans on Oceanic Crust
Convergent plate margins where large turbidite fans with slivers of oceanic basement are accreted to continents represent important sites of continental crustal growth and recycling. Crust accreted in these settings is dominated by an upper layer of recycled crustal and arc detritus (turbidites) und...
