Arc–continent collision in the Southern Urals

Onland signatures of the Palawan microcontinental block and Philippine mobile belt collision and crustal growth process: A review

“…Such recognition provides crucial information for further understanding the geological features observed not only in the Philippines, but in other areas of arc-continent collision (e.g. Aitchison et al, 1995;Huang et al, 1995;Byrne and Liu, 2002;Brown et al, 2006;Vos et al, 2007).…”

Terrane Boundary Geophysical Signatures in Northwest Panay, Philippines: Results from Gravity, Seismic Refraction and Electrical Resistivity Investigations

“…The collision boundary runs from east of Mindoro, east of the Romblon Island Group and across Panay Island in the Central Philippines (McCabe et al 1985;Yumul et al 2003). Similar to arc-continent collision zone features in the Western Pacific (e.g., Aitchison et al 1995;Byrne and Liu 2002;Brown et al 2006;Yumul et al 2009), the Central Philippines consists of distinct oceanic, continental and ophiolitic terranes (McCabe et al 1985;Zamoras et al 2008). In a collisionrelated tectonic setting such as the Central Philippines, the geophysical signatures may include large positive gravity, resistivity and velocity anomalies for ophiolitic bodies and oceanic bathymetric highs and also lower gravity, resistivity and velocity anomalies from structures related to the collision (Hayes and Lewis 1984;Besana et al 1997;Franco and Abbott 1999;Dimalanta and Yumul 2004).…”

Reply to comment on “Accordion vs. quantum tectonics: Insights into continental growth processes from the Paleozoic of eastern Gondwana”

“…For this reason, we suggest Taiwan and Oman as two possible analogues to illustrate a range of possibilities in intra-oceanic arc emplacement events. Other examples are well documented from the Urals (Brown et al, 2006), Timor (Audley-Charles, 2011), New Guinea (Cloos et al, 2005) and the Russian Far East (Hourigan et al, 2009). Our point was to make a comparison rather than present any exact match.…”
