Comment of Lawrence

Hi Candy, I am really impressed by the 3D diagrams. They are very good illustration to present the evolution of the tectonic setting. I understand that you put a great effort on it! But I have read some of the content, I think some of the content are too compricated, that general audience may be not understand. For example, in the part of 'overview of regional geology', you mentioned the granites at there. However, you included some information like 'high content of Sr/Y'. That can be meaningless to the audience. And I didn't see any explaination related to the the Sr/Y ratio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skhlaw (talk • contribs) 09:03, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Triton

Hi Candy,

First of all, I like the map in the intro as it includes most essential components that the readers need to know. However, Some errors in the introduction are spotted e.g. "South American Plate", "The subduction generates special type of igneous rocks, such as Taitao ophiolites, which is an ultramafic rock" → "The subduction have brought a special rock suite called Taitao ophiolites, which is a series of mafic-to-ultramafic rocks onto..." (Ophiolites are not exactly "generated" by subduction in my understanding, while as what Fig.2 shows, pillow lava, sheeted dikes and gabbro are mafic)

I think although the 3D presentation of the Fig. 3 is impressive, there are rooms for improvement:

• It is better to annotate the transform faults between rifts, as well as the subuction zone/(both the trench and the slab, words are needed)
• It is confusing to lable all the oceanic lithosphere as Taitao Ophiolite (according to the legend, I get what you mean, but non-specialist readers may not), so you may consider modifying it

For Fig. 6, you may consider adding the arrows to show the relative movements along the transform faults between Nazca and Antarctica Plates

Minor grammatical mistakes e.g. "there is (was) once (a) Farallon-Phoenix-South America(n) triple junction"

In general, the flow of the article is smooth. Triton Chiu63 (talk) 09:29, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Rachel

Hi Candy,

I think your page is quite informative. The block diagrams are well constructed. You may need to work on the "Summary of the segments of Chile Ridge" more. Also, I notice a minor mistake that you referenced the same paper twice in the same sentence, you may correct that. And you may put some more links to the Importance of the spreading ridge subduction.

• ... that the Chile Ridge has a slab window, a gap where the asthenosphere is thin? Source: "A Review on Forearc Ophiolite Obduction, Adakite-Like Generation, and Slab Window Development at the Chile Triple Junction Area: Uniformitarian Framework for Spreading-Ridge Subduction" [1]

• Is it correct that this is a histmerge of two previously separate pages? If so, this is most definitely a 5x expansion. Certainly long enough. Earwig overlaps appear to be proper names or common phrasing. The writing style reads a bit more like a paper or lesson than an encyclopaedia article, but I am not seeing any neutrality issues. That said, the italics scattered throughout the article, such as at the end of the lead, seem quite out of place. I have a concern about the hook. It seems to be going for strong jargon, even in its explanation. I'm not opposed to some jargon, but in this particular case the jargon appears in a form that may not be easier for a reader to fill from the article. "asthenosphere" appears only once, and not in a sentence that lends much explanation. Could we perhaps de-jargon the hook a bit, and also de-jargon a sentence in the article to use similar language for easier searching? QPQ is done. Best, CMD (talk) 12:52, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

• I have cut back the italics. Here are some alternative hooks all saying the same thing, with variations on the amount of jargon.

• alt0a ... that the Chile Ridge has a slab window?
• alt0b ... that the Chile Ridge has a slab window, a region that has very thin crust above the asthenosphere?
• alt0c ... that the Chile Ridge has a region that has very thin crust above the asthenosphere?
• alt0d ... that the Chile Ridge has a region that has very thin crust above the soft part of the mantle?

Thanks, passing with a preference (promoter welcome to have a different preference) for a combination of b and d, like so: alt0e ... that the Chile Ridge has slab window, a region that has very thin crust above the soft part of the mantle? CMD (talk) 15:08, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Promoter's comment: I took ALT0a because we should at least save the suspense of what a slab window is, not tell the whole story for some hookiness. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 07:08, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Figures 1, 5 and 6 seem to be confusing Taitao Peninsula with the Tres Montes Peninsula

First of all I have to say the article seem for most of the part well-crafted and is richly illustrated, something we don't often see in geology articles. Congratulations to the main editor(s). However, I have to point out basic geographical flaw which is that the figures 1, 5 and 6 seem to be confusing Taitao Peninsula with the Tres Montes Peninsula. Taitao Peninsula is larger than the figures imply as it is linked to the bulk of Chile by the Isthmus of Ofqui. Tres Montes is a subpeninsula in Taitao Peninsula found in the westernmost part of Taitao Peninsula. I am unsure about the exact geographical limit of Tres Montes Peninsulas –that is if it's just the southwestern "ball" or if it also includes part of the Taitai Peninsula "arm" protruding to the SW.
