“…This magmatism marks the final stages of the post-collisional period and the exhausting of mantle reservoirs hydrated and metasomatized by processes related to a previous subduction. The latest volcanism, characterized by the high-Nb rhyolites, probably represents an asthenospheric contribution and can be interpreted as result of slab break-off and asthenospheric upwelling as proposed by Atherton and Ghani (2002).…”

“…1.97-1.90 Ga magmatic rocks in the entire Khondalite Belt, a model of slab break-off is proposed, which predicts a relatively narrow, linear zone of magmatism located along a suture zone (e.g., von Blanckenburg and Davis, 1995;Atherton and Ghani, 2002;Chung et al, 2005;Keskin et al, 2008;Xu et al, 2008;Whalen et al, 2006Whalen et al, , 2010Yuan et al, 2010). Several lines of evidence support this scenario.…”

“…During collisions the competing buoyancy of the lower plate continental crust and the negative buoyancy of the attached oceanic slab ultimately lead to slab failure (McKenzie 1969;Isacks and Molnar 1969;Roeder 1973;Price and Audley-Charles 1987;Sacks and Secor 1990;Davies and von Blanckenburg 1995;Davies 2002;Atherton and Ghani 2002;). This is because the buoyancy forces resisting the subduction of continental lithosphere are as large as those pulling oceanic lithosphere downward (Cloos et al 2005).…”
