TL;DR: The Central Asian Orogenic Belt ( c. 1000-250 Ma) formed by accretion of island arcs, ophiolites, oceanic islands, seamounts, accretionary wedges, and oceanic plateaux and microcontinents in a manner comparable with that of circum-Pacific Mesozoic-Cenozoic orogens is studied in this article.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new terrane synthesis for Mongolia that incorporates geological, geochemical and geochronological data from more than 60 years of Mongolian, Russian and joint international studies, which can provide an important crustal framework for interpreting the Phanerozoic tectonic evolution of a large part of Central Asia.

TL;DR: Kroner, A., Windley, B.T. as discussed by the authors, 2007, Accretionary growth and crust formation in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and comparison with the Arabian-Nubian shield, in Hatcher, R.D., Jr., Carlson, M.M., Gruschka, S., Khain, E.V., Demoux, A.

TL;DR: The Southern Altaid orogen as discussed by the authors is formed by forearc accretion of island arcs, accretionary wedges, ophiolites and Precambrian microcontinents.

TL;DR: The Adaatsag ophiolite in eastern Mongolia is situated in the Mongol-Okhotsk suture zone, which extends from central Mongolia through Transbaikalia to the Sea of Okhotsk and separates the Siberian and Amurian (Mongolian) plates as discussed by the authors.
