Geophysical and Geochemical Constraints on Neogene‐Recent Volcanism in the North American Cordillera
Abstract Widespread recent volcanic rocks occur across the Cordillera landward of the current/recent volcanic arc Mexico to Alaska and most other subduction backarcs. We conclude that most are produced by partial melt in the upper asthenosphere where two conditions are met: (1) thin lithosphere, sha...
