Tectono-metamorphic evolution of a convergent back-arc: The Famatinian orogen, Sierra de Quilmes, Sierras Pampeanas, NW Argentina

Back-arcs are hot regions of enduring weakness in the hinterland of subduction zones that are commonly sites of strain localization, forming mobile belts that, in some cases, develop into mountain belts. Their evolution results from their strength, a function of thickness, heat flux, and stresses. C...
