METAMORPHIC CONSEQUENCES OF CRUSTAL ECLOGITE PRODUCTION IN OVERTHRUST OROGENIC ZONES

Continental collision can produce crust of much greater than normal thickness in whose lower part eclogite facies conditions may pertain. The resulting density increase of ca. 0.3 Mg m-3 greatly decreases the buoyancy forces normally regarded as inhibiting the subduction of continental material. The...
