“…Among these, the Pampean flat‐slab subduction zone (27°S‐33°S) is one of the most remarkable features in this orogen (Cahill & Isacks, 1992; Gutscher et al., 2000). It is characterized by a series of tectonic domains, with an accretionary wedge in the Coastal Cordillera, Quaternary deposits in the Central Valley, a hybrid thrust belt in the Principal Cordillera, a rigid block uplift in the Frontal Cordillera, basement uplift in the Precordillera and the Sierras Pampeanas, and a series of Neogene‐Quaternary broken foreland basins (Alvarado et al., 2009; Giambiagi et al., 2015; Lossada et al., 2020; Martínez et al., 2016; Ramos et al., 2002, 2004; Rodríguez et al., 2018; Suriano et al., 2017). A decrease of volcanic activity since the early and middle Miocene (Jones et al., 2016; Kay & Abbruzzi, 1996; Litvak et al., 2007; Ramos et al., 2002), and a complex history of shortening and exhumation (Barrionuevo et al., 2019; Lossada et al., 2017, 2020; Martos et al., 2020; Rodríguez et al., 2018; Suriano et al., 2017) is also one of the main features of this area.…”
