Reply to comment on “Kinematic variations across Eastern Cordillera at 24°S (Central Andes): Tectonic and magmatic implications”

We discuss in detail all the comments made by Petrinovic et al., showing that these are not pertinent to the aim of our study, or based on incomplete information of fault kinematics, or unsupported. Despite our limited amount of data, not any of the raised arguments can be seriously taken into account to alter the proposed scenario. Therefore, we demonstrate that our paper is neither “largely speculative” nor “contains major flaws”.
