2Gpa has increased to more than 15.
This indicates that subduction of continental fragments to depths of
100-150 km may have played a significant role in the formation of
mountain belts.
This volume brings together the geochemical, geophysical and
geodynamical approaches to study the processes active during
ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) tectonics.
The collection of papers demarkates the frontier of our understanding of
the creation, preservation, and exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure
rocks.
Audience: This volume will be of interest to any earth scientist
interested in ultrahigh pressure processes and the formation and
modification of continental crust
