Formation of Continental Crust by Diapiric Melting of Recycled Crustal Materials in the Mantle Wedge

Abstract The compositional similarity between high‐Mg andesite‐dacite from accretionary orogens and bulk continental crust (CC) provides an opportunity to unravel the CC formation paradox. Compositional data from a global compilation of Quaternary magmatic arcs indicate the presence of low‐Mg series...
