Slab breakoff： a causal mechanism or pure convenience
The idea of lithosphere delamination has long been conceived as a mechanism to cause tectonic uplift, metamorphism and magmatism in active orogenic belts [1-3]. Since the publication of the two seminal papers by Davies and yon Blanckenburg [4,5], the idea of slab breakoff has been more widely accept...

| Summary: | The idea of lithosphere delamination has long been conceived as a mechanism to cause tectonic uplift, metamorphism and magmatism in active orogenic belts [1-3]. Since the publication of the two seminal papers by Davies and yon Blanckenburg [4,5], the idea of slab breakoff has been more widely accepted over the last ～20 years as the favored mechanism to cause collision zone magmatism and exhumation of subduction-zone metamorphosed rocks. |
