Subduction initiation is one of the main unsolved issues in plate tectonics theory with different proposed mechanisms. In the arc (plateau, terrane)-continent collision models, a …
Subduction zones are first-order features of plate tectonics on Earth, yet the mechanisms by which subduction initiates remain enigmatic and controversial. Here, we reappraise the …
Venus is the only other Earth‐sized planet in the Solar System but it does not exhibit evidence of plate tectonics that dominates geological processes on Earth. Surface …
Abstract The Sistan orogen (Eastern Iran) separates the Afghan and Lut continental blocks and stretches along∼ 700 km from north to south, at a high angle with respect to other …
Abstract The Deccan-associated sediments (Lameta Formation and intertrappean) hold great potential for understanding the role of Deccan Volcanism in the Maastrichtian …
The architecture and tectono-magmatic evolution of the lithosphere of Europe are the result of a succession of subduction, rifting and inputs from plumes that have modified the …
Subduction initiation induced by a hot and buoyant mantle plume head is unique among proposed subduction initiation mechanisms because it does not require pre-existing weak …
Terrestrial planet Venus has a similar size, mass, and bulk composition to Earth. Previous studies proposed that local plume-induced subduction existed on both early Earth and …

Our recent field investigations in western Pakistan have revealed that serpentinized peridotites here are crosscut by numerous intrusions of gabbro and tonalite. New zircon U …
