Between 56 and 53 Ma, a change in the direction of the Kula-Farallon spreading halted the previous southward migration of the Kula-Farallon-North American triple junction. This forced the triple junction to migrate back north along the plate margin, enlarging the slab window beneath the accretionary margin. The expanded slab window produced a large-scale thermal manifestation now recognized as the Chugach metamorphic complex. The accretionary complex responded to plate reorganization by orogen-parallel extension associated with oblique subduction of the Kula plate. Contraction began again following passage of the triple junction and subduction of the Farallon plate. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
