Coupling Between Lithosphere Removal and Mantle Flow in the Central Andes

Abstract The central Andes is part of a Cordilleran orogen formed through continent‐ocean convergence. In contrast to the thickened crust, the mantle lithosphere below much of the orogen is anomalously thin. Additionally, the surface is characterized by widespread backarc magmatism and transient ∼10...
