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)

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

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)

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.

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.
