Mafic High‐Pressure Rocks Are Preferentially Exhumed From Warm Subduction Settings

Abstract The oceanic crust that enters a subduction zone is generally recycled to great depth. In rare and punctuated episodes, however, blueschists and eclogites derived from subducted oceanic crust are exhumed. Compilations of the maximum pressure‐temperature conditions in exhumed rocks indicate s...
