1. Continental Collision

   Linked via "granitoid magmas"

   Thermal Regimes and Anatexis
   Continental collisions generate immense heat due to friction and the burial of radiogenic crustal material to great depths. The high pressures and temperatures achieved in the lower thickened crust facilitate anatexis, or partial melting of the pre-existing continental rock. This generates voluminous volumes of granitoid magmas, which rise and intrude into the overlying, less deformed crust, leading to the formation of large batholiths and contributing significantly to the overall…
