The study reveals the migration of magmatic arc and incompatible enrichment of sub-arc mantle magma sources in the central-eastern Gangdese arc. Late Cretaceous adakites were generated through partial melting of forearc crust debris and subducted oceanic crust, and the truncation of forearc crust and short arc-suture distance were observed. This research provides important insights into long-term material recycling on Earth.
Subduction of oceanic lithosphere can cause crustal growth and destruction, but whether this balancing act is common in a single fossil convergent system has been unclear. Here we report geochronologic-geochemical-isotopic data on Mesozoic igneous rocks in the central-eastern Gangdese arc. Our results reveal: (a) A coupling of magmatic arc migration toward the continent interior with a marked incompatible enrichment of sub-arc mantle magma sources; (b) numerous Late Cretaceous adakites were generated via combined partial melting of both eroded forearc crust debris and subducted oceanic crust; (c) the truncation of forearc crust and extremely short arc-suture distance. Our work demonstrates that although there was significant vertical growth of juvenile crust throughout the Gangdese arc during the Late Mesozoic, a large amount of continental crust was returned back into the mantle through lateral subduction erosion at the same time. This study provides important insights into long-term material recycling on Earth.
