How does the continental crust get really hot?

There is widespread evidence that ultra-high temperatures of 900-1000 °C have been generated in the Earth’s crust repeatedly in time and space, and that they were associated with thickened crust in collisional mountain belts and the production of large volumes of magma. Numerical modelling indicates...
