There is a general consensus that Plate Tectonics can explain metallogenesis based on the collisions between oceanic and continental crust.For instance,the large-sized porphyry copper deposits that occur along the Cordillera of the Andes around the east coast of the Pacific,and in the Phillipines,Malaysia and Indonesia along the western coast of the Pacific that sit upon the massive Pacific plates.They are considered to be typical of deposits resulting from collision between the oceanic and continental crust.Many experts,however,have long held a negative view about whether the collision between There is a general consensus that Plate Tectonics can be explain metallogenesis based on the collisions between oceanic and continental crust.
