Middle American Terranes, Potential Correlatives, and Orogenic Process

Book

Middle American Terranes, Potential Correlatives, and Orogenic Processes

ABSTRACT

Consisting of papers that have appeared recently in International Geology Review, Middle American Terranes, Potential Correlatives, and Orogenic Processes focuses on Middle American terranes in which tectonic processes, including flat-slab subduction, for orogenic development are examined at various times since the late Mesoproterozoi
