Earth's continental crust has grown and been recycled throughout geologic history along convergent plate margins. The main locus of continental crustal growth is in intra-oceanic …
Continental arcs in Cordilleran orogenic systems display episodic changes in magma production rate, alternating between flare ups (70–90 km 3 km− 1 Myr− 1) and lulls (< 20 km …
Reconfigurations of magmatic arcs through time have been recognized since pioneering works, describing inland and trenchward arc migrations or magmatic shut-off lasting for …
The evolving mosaic of tectonic plates across the surface of the Earth sets boundary conditions for the evolution of biotic and abiotic processes and helps shape the dynamics of …
A first-order observation of convergent margin volcanism is that continental arc stratovolcanoes have substantially elevated incompatible element abundances and notable …
Arclogites are eclogite-like rocks formed magmatically as ultramafic residues and cumulates in the roots of thick arcs (Ducea et al., 2021 companion paper). They are inferred to be …
Subduction erosion, which occurs at all convergent plate boundaries associated with magmatic arcs formed on crystalline forearc basement, is an important process for chemical …
Arc magma generation and evolution are affected by transcrustal processes, such as assimilation and fractional crystallisation, and source processes like slab influx into the …

Continental crust in average exhibits a similar composition in both major and trace elements to andesites along active continental margins. For this reason, andesitic magmatism above …
