Hydration of the lithospheric mantle by the descending plate in a continent–continent collisional setting and its geodynamic consequences

•Dehydration of the descending crust in a collisional setting is quantified.•Hydration of the mantle by the adjacent downgoing crustal plate is also quantified.•Penetration of the lower crustal plate into the mantle during collision is suggested.•This penetration leads to crustal thickening over an...
