Abstract:Large hot orogens (LHO) are characterized by an increase in heat the production and thickness of the lithosphere. The increase in heat production, related to the accretion of highradiogenic continental crust, leads to middle and lower crust partial melt and consequently decreases their strength. The gradient in lithostatic pressure between the thickened crust and No Orógeno Brasília Meridional foi estudada uma exposição do Sistema de Nappes Andrelândia, localizado no município de Pouso Alto, sudeste do Brasil.… Show more
