TL;DR: The Central Asian Orogenic Belt as discussed by the authors records the accretion and convergence of three collage systems that were finally rotated into two major oroclines, the Mongolia collage system was a long, N-S-oriented composite ribbon that was rotated to its current orientation when the Mongol-Okhotsk orogine was formed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assumed that the Chinese Altay-East Junggar-Eastern Tien Shan domain was more closely located to Siberia, while the West Junggars and Yili domains occupied an intermediate position near the Kazakhstan block in the early Paleozoic Paleoasian Ocean.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the various tectonic units in the Chinese Eastern Tianshan orogenic collage in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, and discuss the Paleozoic geological history of the several periods of accretion and collision of archipelago systems lying between the Tarim and southern Angaran continental margins.

TL;DR: Based on recent tectonostratigraphic analyses together with paleomagnetic data, the tectonic styles of the Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic accretionary processes of the Altaids are discussed in this article.

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.
