Drip tectonics and the enigmatic uplift of the Central Anatolian Plateau

Drip tectonics and the enigmatic uplift of the Central Anatolian Plateau

The recycling of continental lithosphere and rapid plateau uplift is believed to be the result of lithospheric drips, but natural examples are missing. Here, the authors use geodynamic models to suggest that the folding and thickening of the Central Anatolian arc caused lithospheric dripping of the...
