Himalayas formation may have destroyed at least 30% of continental crust in collision zone

Earth's continents are slowly moving across the planet's surface due to plate tectonics, culminating in regions of crustal expansion and collision. In the latter case, high temperatures and pressures lead to the reworking of the crust, affecting its composition, as well as that of the underlying mantle. Furthermore, when two continental plates collide, distinct topographic features are produced, namely mountain ranges, which are surficial manifests of Earth's thickened crust. Three such collision zones form the Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau, the European Alps and the Zagros Mountains in Iran, Iraq and Turkey, originating during the Cenozoic (last 66 million years). New research, published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters, has attempted to quantify the amount of continental crust lost to the mantle when two plates collide at each of these boundaries.
