... that the Pampean flat-slab is an area of low angle subduction in South America, associated with a large volcano-free gap in the Andean Volcanic Belt? Source: Stern, Charles R (December 2004). "Active Andean volcanism: its geologic and tectonic setting". Revista Geológica de Chile. 31 (2): 161–206. doi:10.4067/S0716-02082004000200001. ISSN 0716-0208. Retrieved 2008-11-20.

A few things. It's long enough and new enough. But the hook is problematic: the Stern source does not verify "unusually"--at best it has something dipping "less steeply"; that word sounds like OR to me. The volcano-free gap should be verified by the Ramos article, but I do not have access to that journal. In addition, the article needs (more) copyedits, and what it really needs is an expert, both for the hook and for the content of the article, so I'll try to ping someone. LadyofShalott, do you know anyone who does volcanoes? Drmies (talk) 16:04, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Mamayuco, if you take out "unusually", the hook is acceptable (I asked Jo-Jo Eumerus). Drmies (talk) 01:06, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies, I removed "unusually". Mamayuco (talk) 21:28, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
