Accretionary Complexes

Accretionary Complexes is a geological structure formed at convergent plate margins that consists of fragmented and deformed sedimentary and oceanic materials scraped off a subducting tectonic plate and accreted onto the overriding plate, distinguished from other tectonic assemblages by its chaotic stratigraphy, melange fabric, and structural imbrication resulting from prolonged subduction processes.
