The raising of mountain belts is a consequence of tectonic activity and the collision of plates, and the highest mountains are formed when two continental plates collide. The Continental geotherm is doubled and the accumulated heat generates metamorphism and partial melting, which transform and differentiates the continental crust, an irreversible process that is registered in the formed …
This research project aims to investigate the tectonic evolution of ancient orogens using the study of metamorphic rocks. Metamorphism and partial melting are direct consequences of the thermal relaxation following the collisional stage in orogens. The shape of the P-T paths, the partial melting reactions and formed parageneses are reflections of tectonic history that the rock underwent, …

Metamorphism and partial melting are direct consequences of the thermal relaxation that follows the collisional stage in orogens.

The formation of Antarctic Peninsula is related to Gondwana break-up. The rocks that compose the peninsula are related to a fore-arc basin, island arc and a back arc basin system, which was installed in a continental crust in the Gondwana pacific coast, between Triassic and Jurassic. The turbiditic sediments were deposited in an accretionary prism and are now represent by the rocks of the…

During extreme tectonic episodes, such as subduction and continental collision, crustal rocks aresubjected not only to metamorphic reactions but also to partial melting reactions (anatexis),particularly in the lower continental crust. These physicochemical transformations result in theformation of (U)HP and/or (U)HT metamorphic rocks on one hand, and the production of igneousrocks on the …
The metamorphic rocks that crop out in the São Pedro da União region, Minas Gerais, comprise igneous-derived stromatic diatexites at their base and sedimentary-derived stromatic diatexites at the top, separated by the Campo Gerais Shear Zone. Previous geological mapping and thermobarometric studies have assigned different names for these rocks, such as Campo Gerais Complex, São Vicente Un…
The Liberdade Nappe is the intermediate unit of the Andrelândia Nappes System, which is inserted in the tectonic context of orogeny of the southern Brasília Orogen, dating from the Neoproterozoic. The rocks of Liberdade Nappe are described as metasedimentary rocks, pelitic schists, paragneisses, quartzites, calcisilicate rocks, amphibolites, metaultramafic rocks and retroeclogites. The fo…

Metatexites are rocks that underwent partial melting but still had a part of their original structure, such as stratification and foliation, preserved. During tectonic processes of collisional interaction between the San franciscana and Paranapanemaplates, in the Neoproterozoic, a variety of metamorphic and deformed rocks were generated, among them, the metatext. These occupy different te…
In the Ribeira Belt, between the States of São Paulo and Paraná, Brazil, metasedimentary rocks from Turvo-Cajati Formation crop out. There are some recent studies that point to distinct metamorphic field gradients in the same unit. The baric regime in partially molten granulite facies rocks indicates pressure above 9 kbar (Faleiros, 2008), whereas amphibolite facies rocks record a barrovi…
In the region of Vale do Ribeira, in the states of São Paulo and Paraná, crop out metamorphic rocks with different conditions of temperature and pressure. Rocks of lower green schist facies, amphibolite facies and even rocks with evidences of partial melting can be found, and these are related to Turvo-Cajati Formation. The prior characterization of the metamorphism in these rocks points …

The Campo do Meio Shear Belt limits the northern portion of the Socorro-Guaxupé Nappe, which is part of the Southernmost Brasília Orogen, and at its base, migmatites with ferroan granite protoliths are exposed. Although ferroan granites are commonly found in the Proterozoic era, studies on the effects of tectonic reworking and partial melting in collisional orogens of these rocks-leading …
Thermodynamic modeling is an important tool for investigating and quantifying the metamorphic processes that occurred during history of Earth. It is through it that thermobarometric results are obtained and mineral stability relationships are calculated (Lanari & Hermann, 2020). Due to the progress of technologies in the 21st century, a big advance occurred in the field of computational p…
In Ribeira Belt, SE Brazil, metasedimentary rocks of distinct pressure conditions crop out. However, they are all assumed to be part of the same unit, the Turvo-Cajati Formation (TCF). A better understanding in P-T-t paths in this unit could help have a better picture of the conditions that lead to their current disposition. TCF is a metasedimentary unit forming the Curitiba Terrane, a ma…
Timescales, over which high-grade metamorphism occurs, are required in order to fully integrate petrological data into tectonic frameworks. In the absence of geochronological constraints, the shape of a P-T path does not necessarily indicate the tectonic setting of metamorphism. Zircon, monazite and titanite are common accessory phases in many rock types, including the ones underwent high…
