“…The slab breakoff is a traditional model, in which subducting continental slab becomes wholly exhumed due to breakoff at the transition to the oceanic slab that is pulling the continental deep subduction [32,33]. The model of continental subduction channel has been used to explain exhumation of HP and UHP metamorphic rocks [34][35][36]. In terms of the continental subduction channel model [7], the subducting continental lithosphere is detached at different depths as crustal slices into the subduction channel that are sequentially exhumed toward the surface (Figure 3(a)).…”

“…1; Gil Obrien and Vrana, 1995;Lardeaux et al, 2001;Massone, 2001;Arenas and Martínez Catalán, 2002). This type of units contains important information about the tectonothermal evolution of the Variscan or eo-Variscan accretionary complex, mainly because of the extreme metamorphic conditions attained and the superposition of deformational events that they register.…”

“…STA: Silesian Terrane Assemblage. High-P and ultra-high-P units involved in the Variscan suture (red stars): 1) High-P and high-T unit of the Sobrado Antiform, Órdenes Complex ; 2) Eclogite facies gneisses and related high-P and high-T rocks of the Cabo Ortegal Complex; 3) Coesite-bearing eclogite in the Monts du Lyonnais Unit, French Massif Central (Lardeaux et al, 2001); 4) High-P and high-T rocks in the Mariánské Lázně Complex, Bohemian Massif (Timmermann et al, 2004); 5) Eclogite facies gneisses bearing Cs + Dia in the Gneiss-Eclogite Unit, Saxonian Erzgebirge, Bohemian Massif (Massone, 2001;Massone, 2003;Massone et al, 2007); 6) High-P and high-T rocks in the Gory Sowie Block, Central Sudetes, Bohemian Massif (Kryza and Pin, 2002).

“…Schertl et al, 1991;Stöckhert et al, 1997;Reinecke, 1998;Groppo et al, 2007;Groppo and Castelli, 2010;Krebs et al, 2011;Angiboust et al, 2012), geochronological results pose narrow time windows for typical timescales of exhumation, asking for displacement rates comparable to plate velocity (e.g. Gebauer et al, 1997;Rubatto and Hermann, 2001;Baldwin et al, 2004;Little et al, 2011). Rapid exhumation with concomitant cooling reconciles neither with uplift and erosion nor with crustal extension (Platt, 1993;Ring and Brandon, 1999).…”

“…Moreover, geochronological results suggest that in some cases a large part of exhumation has taken place during ongoing subduction, prior to collision (e.g. Lardeaux et al, 2001;Rubatto et al, 2011). These observations have led to postulation of a deep subduction channel (DSC) with forced return flow as a possible mechanism for exhumation ( Fig.…”
