This paper presents a synthetic view of the geodynamic evolution of the Zagros orogen within the frame of the ArabiaEurasia collision. The Zagros orogen and the Iranian plateau preserve a record of the longstanding convergence history between Eurasia and Arabia across the NeoTethys, from subductionobduction processes to presentday collision (from 150 to 0 Ma). The Andes Active Subduction Orogeny published in: monography series FRONTIERS IN EARTH SCIENCES, Vol. 1, SPRINGER Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 569 pp, 2006 Summary. We present an upgraded version of a previously published 3D density model of the Andean subduction zone between 18S and 45S. This model consists of 3D bodies of constant density, which geometry is constrained by independent seismic data and is triangulated from vertical crosssections. , 2006, The Andes Active Subduction Orogeny, Subduction channel evolution in brittle forearc wedges a combined study with scaled sandbox experiments, seismological and reflection seismic data and geological field evidence, [1. The tectonic shortening of the South American upper plate that formed the Andean subduction orogen shows significant alongstrike variations in magnitude and timing. Shortening in the Central Andes Accordingly, subduction orogeny has become an international, highpriority theme in processoriented, earthsystem analysis. In this context, Dewey and Bird (1970) have defined the Andes as the type representative for orogeny and associated p cesses at convergent margins in their benchmark paper. Convergent plate margins and subduction zones are first order features shaping the Earth. Convergent continental margins combine the majority of processes that affect the internal architecture thermal and geochemical character of continental lith phere. In addition, the close relationships between active deformation and uplift, m matism and associated crustal growth, ore formation, the. The Andes: Active Subduction Orogeny (Frontiers in Earth Sciences) (2006 ed. Edition) by Onno Oncken (Editor), Guillermo Chong (Editor), Gerhard Franz (Editor), Peter Giese (Editor). Modern seismic imaging methods were used to study the subduction processes of the South American convergent margin. The data came from reflection and from wideanglerefraction experiments acquired within the framework of the Collaborative Research Center SFB267 Deformation Processes in the Andes. The Andean orogeny (Spanish: Orogenia andina) is an ongoing process of orogeny that began in the Early Jurassic and is responsible for the rise of the Andes mountains. The orogeny is driven by a reactivation of a longlived subduction system along the western margin of South America. Active Subduction Orogeny: SpringerVerlag, Berlin Heidelberg, p.

The Andes or Andean Mountains ( Spanish: Cordillera de los Andes ) are the longest continental mountain range in the world. They form a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. This range is about 7, 000 km (4, 300 mi) long, about 200 to 700 km (120 to 430 mi) wide (widest between 18 south and 20 south latitude ), and of an average height of about 4, 000 m (13, 000 ft). Keywords: Andes, subduction, orogeny, numerical model. INTRODUCTION The Andes Mountains extend along the entire western margin of Active delamination accom between subducted and overriding plates, initial lithospheric structure, panied by the blocking of the corner flow by the delaminated material In general active plateboundary deformation processes such as, coastal geomorphology, paleoseismology, seismotectonic segmentation, climatetectonic interactions, active rifting, and volcanotectonics.

The Chile subduction zone, spanning more than 3500 km, provides a unique setting for studying, along a single plate boundary, the factors that govern tectonic processes at convergent margins.
