Central Andes: Mountains, Magmas, And Minerals, August 2018, Vol. 14, No. 4
$20.00
The Central Andes in South America are a first-order geological structure on our planet of an active continental margin. The link between subduction-related magmatism and processes and timing of uplift and volcanism shaped the Andean Cordillera and provides unique examples of the andesite magma generation during passage through thickened crust.
Central Andes: Mountains, Magmas, And Minerals
August 2018, Vol. 14, No. 4
The Central Andes in South America are a first-order geological structure on our planet of an active continental margin. The link between subduction-related magmatism and processes and timing of uplift and volcanism shaped the Andean Cordillera and provides unique examples of the andesite magma generation during passage through thickened crust. As one of the largest ignimbrite provinces, the Central Andes also show ignimbrite “flare-ups” that are linked to crustal thickening and increased mantle magma input. Ignimbrites and andesites are the “smoking gun” of crustal differentiation at active continental margins. The interplay between tectonics and magmatism produced the world’s largest porphyry copper deposits, and the extremely arid climate conditions of the Atacama Desert has led to spectacular salt deposits, including the world’s richest deposits of lithium, boron, iodine and nitrates.
