Collision vs. subduction-related magmatism: two contrasting ways of granite formation and implications for crustal growth

JF Moyen, O Laurent, C Chelle-Michou, S Couzinié… - Lithos, 2017 - Elsevier
Earth's continental crust is dominantly made of buoyant, felsic igneous material (granitoids),
that was ultimately extracted from the mantle as a result of Earth's differentiation. Since felsic …

The role of continental subduction in mantle metasomatism and carbon recycling revealed by melt inclusions in UHP eclogites
