Relamination Styles in Collisional Orogens [PDF]

open access: yesTectonics, 2018
During continental collision, a part of the lower‐plate material can be subducted, emplaced at the base of the upper plate, and eventually incorporated into its crust. This mechanism of continental‐crust transformation is called relamination, and it has been invoked to explain occurrences of high‐pressure felsic rocks in different structural positions ...

Origin of the Miocene Adakitic Rocks and Implication for Tectonic Transition in the Himalayan Orogen: Constraints from Kuday Granitoid Porphyry in Southern Tibet

open access: yesLithosphere, 2022
Postcollisional adakitic magmatism in the Himalayan Orogen provides a probe into the evolution of the collisional orogen. During the Miocene, the Himalayan Orogen underwent a tectonic transition, which was characterized by a series of tectonic events ...

The metamorphic and magmatic record of collisional orogens

open access: yesNature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2021
The Cenozoic Himalaya-Tibet orogen is generally regarded as the archetypal continental collision zone and is often used as an analogue for interpreting ancient orogenic events. However, given the wide diversity observed in present-day collisional mountain belts, the extent to which such inferences can be made remains debated. In this Review, we compare

Relating orogen width to shortening, erosion, and exhumation during Alpine collision [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We investigate along-strike width changes of the thickened, accreted lower plate (TALP) in the Central and in the Eastern Alps. We set the width of the TALP in relation to the inferred amount of collisional shortening and exhumation along six orogen ...

EARLY PRECAMBRIAN CRUSTAL EVOLUTION OF THE BELOMORIAN AND TRANS-NORTH CHINA OROGENS AND SUPERCONTINENTS RECONSTRUCTION

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
Comparative analysis of the crustal evolution of the Early Precambrian Belomorian and Trans-North China orogens (Fig. 1) has shown [Slabunov et al., 2015] that: Both belts were formed by the superposition of two Precambrian orogenies.

From subduction to collision in the northern Tibetan plateau : evidence from the early Silurian clastic rocks, northwestern China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Qilian Orogen records early Paleozoic collisional suturing of the Qaidam Block and the Central Qilian Block to the North China Craton. The composition and U-Pb age of detrital zircons and the composition of Cr-spinels from the Early Silurian ...

Metamorphic and geochronological constraints on the final assembly of West Gondwana: an Ediacaran-Cambrian collisional setting in the northern Araguaia Orogen, central Brazil

open access: yes, 2023
The Araguaia Orogen, located in Central Brazil, represents an Ediacaran-Cambrian collisional orogen associated with the final assembly of West Gondwana.

Rutile in Amphibolite Facies Metamorphic Rocks: A Rare Example from the East Qinling Orogen, China

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Rutile is an important ore mineral to meet the increasing demand of critical metal Ti in various sectors. Here we report a rare example of rutile deposits hosted within the Baishugang–Wujianfang amphibolite-facies metamorphic rocks in the East Qinling ...

Detrital record of mountain building : Provenance of Jurassic foreland basin to the Dabie Mountains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Huangshi foreland basin developed on the southern margin of the Dabie Mountains as a result of tectonic loading during Triassic collisional suturing between the North China and South China cratons.
