Subduction-transition zone interaction: A review
As subducting plates reach the base of the upper mantle, some appear to flatten and
stagnate, while others seemingly go through unimpeded. This variable resistance to slab …

[PDF][PDF] Mesozoic–Cenozoic geological evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and working tectonic hypotheses
P Kapp, PG DeCelles - American Journal of Science, 2019 - ajsonline.org
The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

Gangdese magmatism in southern Tibet and India–Asia convergence since 120 Ma
A compilation of 290 zircon U–Pb ages of intrusive rocks indicates that the Gangdese

Deep India meets deep Asia: Lithospheric indentation, delamination and break-off under Pamir and Hindu Kush (Central Asia)
Subduction of buoyant continental lithosphere is one of the least understood plate-tectonic
processes. Yet under the Pamir–Hindu Kush, at the northwestern margin of the India–Asia …

Mantle convection in the Middle East: Reconciling Afar upwelling, Arabia indentation and Aegean trench rollback
Abstract The Middle East region represents a key site within the Tethyan domain where
continental break-up, collision, backarc extension and escape tectonics are kinematically …

Interaction of subducted slabs with the mantle transition‐zone: A regime diagram from 2‐D thermo‐mechanical models with a mobile trench and an overriding plate
Transition zone slab deformation influences Earth's thermal, chemical, and tectonic
evolution. However, the mechanisms responsible for the wide range of imaged slab …

Mantle flow and deforming continents: From India‐Asia convergence to Pacific subduction
The formation of mountain belts or rift zones is commonly attributed to interactions between
plates along their boundaries, but the widely distributed deformation of Asia from Himalaya …
