TL;DR: In this article, the existence of upper-plate and lower-plate passive margins is investigated and it is shown that detachment models developed for the formation of metamorphic core complexes can also be applied to the forming of passive continental margins, giving rise to a complementary asymmetry of opposing margins after continental breakup.

TL;DR: In this article, a specific deformation model, based on advective transport rate control, is developed, which can produce strain at competitive rates but with stress and temperature dependences of unusual form.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Rayleigh-Darcy modeling of a uniformly permeable, crustal slab is used to show that convective instability of metamorphic fluid is expected at the permeabilities suggested for the high Pf conditions, and that large scale convective cells operating in overpressured, but capped systems may provide a satisfactory explanation for the large fluid/rock ratios and extensive mass transport demonstrated for many low and medium-grade metamorphin-ments.

TL;DR: In this article, a wide range in structural styles on passive margins is predicted by five models which incorporate detachment faults linked to flat ductile shear zones, and ductile stretching of the thermal lithosphere below the shear zone.

TL;DR: Gold-bearing quartz vein systems in metamorphic terranes are one of the most important types of lode gold resource in central Victoria as mentioned in this paper, which is restricted to narrow, structurally-controlled domains in a low grade metamorphosed quartz-rich turbidite sequence.
