Cold slab subduction and hot plume burst are generally envisaged as independent triggers for convergent margin intraplate magmatisms, respectively. However, descending oceanic plates occasionally encounter ascending mantle plumes, leading to contrasting hypotheses that plumes interrupt processes and/or slabs choke pathways. This study used 2-D numerical simulation reproduce a Paleozoic scenario in Central Asia where subduction-induced head is invoked interpret the formation of Tarim large...

Abstract Comprehensive studies of the tectonic nature and formation age Dashui complex in Eastern Tianshan‐Beishan Orogen may address help to better understand complicated accretionary tectonics southern Altaids. Based on our detailed geological mapping, structural analysis, understanding new geochemistry detrital zircon U‐Pb dating critical samples, can be subdivided into one mélange (Central Zone) two units forearc basin slope (Northern Southern Zones). The Northern Zone is composed debris...

Abstract Cretaceous-Cenozoic basins developed in the NE Tibetan Plateau contain key archives to unravel growth history of plateau response India-Eurasia collision. Here we present magnetostratigraphic results a Late Cretaceous Paleogene succession Zhongba section outcropping at southern margin eastern Xining basin. This consists three lithological units punctuated by two stratigraphic unconformities, which best recorded deformation this foreland Detailed investigation show that lower...

Abstract The crust of the eastern Tibetan Plateau is cut through by several ancient fracture zones, which existed prior to Cenozoic uplift Tibet. However, role these pre‐existing crustal weak zones (CWZs) in evolution Tibet still poorly understood. Here, we conduct a series 2D thermo‐mechanical simulations investigate CWZs Our results show that embedded continental lithosphere facilitate thickening via folding and thrusting deformation rugged surface at early stage convergence. As continues,...

Located in the southern margin of Central Asian orogenic belt, stratigraphy and tectonic setting mafic 290−280 Ma Liuyuan Complex have been controversial for decades, with workers arguing a forearc ophiolite or continental rift setting. Here, we present results detailed field study, where was subdivided into troctolite, melatroctolite, layered gabbro, varitextured olivine hornblende plagiogranite, sheeted dike, tectonite, addition to previously identified studied basalt chert. All contacts...

Abstract As the frontal part of South China orogen, Eastern Sichuan fold‐thrust belt represents latest‐stage compression, but its deformational history has not been well constrained. In this paper, we use 11 apatite fission track (AFT) samples, including 7 new samples and 4 published to reconstruct belt. The were collected from three profiles across segments belt: 3 northern segment, middle segment southern segment. AFT thermal modeling shows that rapid cooling event generally occurred 135...

Abstract The Beishan Orogen contains the youngest suture in Central Asian Orogenic Belt and is vital to understanding its terminal collision history closure of last vestiges Palaeo-Asian Ocean. Multidisciplinary evidence provided for a close temporal spatial linkage between Liuyuan Complex back-arc ophiolite Ganquan arc rocks. mainly comprises felsic volcanic volcaniclastic rocks divided into lower upper sequence, both which exhibit arc-like geochemical signatures have magmatic zircons...

The 290–280 Ma mafic Liuyuan Complex, embedded in the terranes constituting southern edge of Central Asian Orogenic Belt, has been interpreted to be either an ophiolite or intracontinental large igneous province. Our detailed mapping shows that Complex preserves almost complete oceanic crustal section, with basal troctolite cumulates, varitextured gabbro affected by intense sub‐seafloor hydrothermal circulation, a newly discovered, and laterally‐continuous sheeted dyke complex, capped...

Subduction processes of Eastern Tianshan are crucial to understanding the mechanism orogenic evolution southern Altaids. To identify whether tectonic setting Late Carboniferous or later was continuous subduction, we present a systematic study on magmatic rocks exposed continuously in time and space Weiya area, which were mainly derived from crustal materials with involvement mantle-derived subduction-related setting. Our newly discovered 319 Ma A-type granites imply an extensional...

We conducted a study on the petrology, geochemistry, and zircon U–Pb dating of Late Devonian intrusive rocks in Tulargen area Eastern Tianshan Orogenic Belt, Xinjiang, China. These primarily consist gabbro (382 ± 5 Ma), tonalite (370.9 2.7 biotite monzogranite (362.8 4.4 Ma). Gabbro belongs to low-K calc-alkaline series quasi-aluminous rocks, with high Al2O3 content (16.46–20.34 wt.%) Mg# value (64.55–67.73). Tonalite monzogranite, which belong high-K series, are metaluminous or weakly...
