仰冲

(重定向自逆衝

仰冲(Obduction)是一种地质过程,指密度更大的洋壳聚合性板块边缘处从下降的海洋板块上被剥离,并推覆到到邻近板块上[1]。这邻近的板块也可能是密度小的陆壳[2]。仰冲不如俯冲常见[3],因为密度较大的大洋岩石圈通常会在较轻的大陆板块下方俯冲。仰冲与造山带弧后盆地的板块碰撞有关[4]

仰冲通常发生在俯冲带,大洋壳中的基性和超基性岩石碎块从地幔逆冲到大陆地壳上,成为蛇绿岩套[5]。仰冲也会发生在一个小的洋壳板块夹在两个较大的大陆板块之间,当两个大陆板块碰撞时,夹在它们之间的洋壳被挤入到相邻的大陆板块之间,由此产生造山运动[6]。 大多数仰冲一般在俯冲带上方的弧后盆地开始,在洋壳闭合或造山运动期间完成[7]

仰冲的例子有新喀里多尼亚塞浦路斯特罗多斯山
