Abstract

This Chapter is a review of the deeper, plutonic levels of convergent continental margins, the shallow levels of which (volcanics and sediments deposited at the surface or in shallow subsurface) have been covered in the previous Chapter 6 (“Andean-type margins”). The term “Cordilleran Granitoids” is here used in an informal way. Cordilleran granitoids are best developed, you guess it!, in the North American Cordillera, especially in the Canadian and NW USA portion where the mountain system has not been much affected by the post-orogenic extension. The term “Cordilleran” is commonly used in the literature for the North American orogenic system and comparable terrains elsewhere, especially for those with dominantly subduction-related granitoids emplaced into continental crustal basement (Pitcher, 1982, coined the term “andinotype” for this granitoid variety). Here the term serves mainly as a brief chapter heading for the deeper-seated form of magmatism in convergent continental margins.
