“…The best example of this connection are findings of adakite-like rocks in northern Kamchatka, probably reflecting the edge of the subducting Pacific plate being warmed or ablated by mantle flow [Volynets et al, 1997b[Volynets et al, , 1999b[Volynets et al, , 2000Peyton, 2001;Yogodzinski et al, 2001a]. Research aimed at understanding of the nature of various volcanic zones in Kamchatka and their relation to the changing tectonic environment is currently going on in many areas of Kamchatka [e.g., Avdeiko et al, 2006;Churikova et al, 2001Churikova et al, , 2007Duggen et al, 2007;Perepelov, 2004;Perepelov et al, 2005;Portnyagin et al, 2005Portnyagin et al, , 2007aVolynets et al, 2005] and hopefully will result in the understanding of this dynamic region.…”
