Precambrian Research, 2015 Abstract This study was carried out to determine the initial age and time-span of interaction of two major crustal provinces of Asia: the Siberian craton and the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Single grain U–Pb ages of detrital zircon suites from the Neoproterozoic passive margin strata of the Siberian craton were used to determine the first ...

Crustal nature and origin of the Russian Altai: Implications for the continental evolution and growth of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) [PDF]
Tectonophysics, 2016 Abstract The Central Asian Orogenic Belt is a gigantic tectonic collage of numerous accreted terranes. However, its geodynamic evolution has been hotly debated primarily due to incomplete knowledge on the nature of these enigmatic terranes. This work presents new detrital zircon U–Pb and Hf isotopic data to constrain the crustal nature and origin of ...

Electrical conductivity in the mantle transition zone beneath eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt revealed by geomagnetic signals [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn the eastern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), there is widespread volcanic magma activity. However, there is still considerable controversy over the formation mechanisms and material sources of these volcanoes.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is a globally magnificent accretionary orogenic belt that has been formed since the Phanerozoic as a result of the Paleozoic closing of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO). The transition zone between the North China Craton

Origin and Nature of Parental Magma and Sulfide Segregation of the Baixintan Magmatic Ni–Cu Sulfide Deposit, Southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), NW China: Insights from Mineral Chemistry of Chromite and Silicate Minerals [PDF]
Minerals, 2020 The mineral chemistry of chromite and silicate minerals in the Baixintan magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposit in the Northern Tianshan, southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) are reported here. Two types of chromite were identified in mafic-ultramafic rocks.

Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt in NE China
China Geology, 2022 The eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) in NE China is a key area for investigating continental growth. However, the complexity of its Paleozoic geological history has meant that the tectonic development of this belt is not fully understood.

Volcanic Age and Geochemistry of the Permian Linxi Formation in Northeast China: Implications for the Tectonic Evolution of the Paleo-Asian Ocean [PDF]
Lithosphere, 2023 The tectonic evolution of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO) has been well studied, including its gradual narrowing and closure by subduction. However, aspects of the tectonic evolution of the oceanic domain remain unclear, including the exact timing and nature

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022 Initiation of new subduction zones is an integral part of Earth's plate tectonics regime. It is generally accepted that the negative buoyancy of sufficiently old oceanic lithosphere provides the primary driving force for subduction initiation.
