- Metamorphic Core Complexes - SpringerLink
The most spectacular form of extension tectonics is the formation of metamorphic core complexes Metamorphic core complexes mainly develop in continental crust, especially where it has been previously thickened by collisional processes
- Dynamic models for metamorphic core complex formation and scaling: The . . .
To summarize, a rigid, deformable fluid model for metamorphic core complex formation allows for localized vertical displacements of crustal rocks not easily accommodated by channel flow or thin viscous sheet models
- Exhumation of Metamorphic Core Complexes through Progressive . . .
The Early Cretaceous Liaonan metamorphic core complex (MCC), eastern North China craton, provides a field setting to evaluate progressive middle-upper crustal subhorizontal shearing, doming, and detachment faulting
- The role of gravitational body forces in the development of metamorphic . . .
Here we develop a general model for metamorphic core complexes formation and demonstrate that they result from the collapse of a mountain belt supported by a thickened crustal root
- Metamorphic Core Complexes - University of Colorado Boulder
Distribution and general regional tectonic setting of Cordilleran metamorphic core complexes are represented in the figure to the left (Figure after Coney, 1980) Their arrangement in the Basin and Range Province is shown in its three divisible regions
- Dynamics and structural development of metamorphic core complexes . . .
The development of metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) in a thickened continental lithosphere is studied using fully coupled thermomechanical numerical code, accounting for elastic-brittle-ductile prop

A four-layer model of the upper 150 km of the Earth is used to calculate the viscous response of continental crust and the underlying mantle to tectonic denudation
- Exhumation processes of continental crustal metamorphic complexes
Proposed test of the rolling hinge model and exhumation models of metamorphic core complexes
- Dynamic models for metamorphic core complex formation and scaling: The . . .
In metamorphic core complexes two types of detachments develop, coupled by flow of partially molten crust: a channel detachment and a rolling-hinge detachment
- Significance of strain localization in the lower crust for structural . . .
Using a simplified rheological model which assumes a plastic yield limit for the viscous lower crust, we demonstrate how thermal history and structural architecture of metamorphic core complexes vary as a consequence of the depth of localization
