The idea of lithosphere delamination has long been conceived as a mechanism to cause tectonic uplift,metamorphism and magmatism in active orogenic belts[1–3].Since the publication of the two seminal papers by Davies and von Blanckenburg[4,5],the idea of slab breakoff has been more widely accepted over the last$20 years as the favored mechanism to cause collision zone mag-
