Sediments tectonic recycling

In many active moimtain belts, both rapid longterm uplift and erosion are sustained by tectonic recycling of sediments. For example, the island... [Pg.212]

Following burial, marine sediments are recycled via two pathways a crustal route or a mantle route. In the crustal route, burial followed by diagenesis, catagenesis, and metagenesis transfers sediments into either sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. These rocks are eventually uplifted onto land by crustal motions associated with plate tectonics. In the mantle recycling route, sediments and sedimentary rocks are subducted at... [Pg.526]

Is the proposition that differential recycling of sediments is controlled by tectonic settings supported by the observational data Could this... [Pg.3837]
