Formation of Accretionary Prisms & Orogenic Belts

Training Ranges: Formation of Accretionary Prism

K carries sediment. Oceanic lithosphere subducting, not the majority. The front of the continental shelf traps sediments, which are folded and fractured, thus causing the accretionary prism.

Magmatism and Metamorphism

The presence of water in the subducting lithosphere and heat generated by the friction between plates favor the partial fusion of rocks. The magmas originated climb, and those that remain inside contribute to the thickening of the continental
