No excessive crustal growth in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Further evidence from field relationships and isotopic data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide new field observations and isotopic data for key areas of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), reiterating their previous assessment that no excessive crustal growth occurred during its ca. 800 Ma long orogenic evolution.

Multiple Tethyan ocean basins and orogenic belts in Asia

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the Tethyan ocean basins in Asia illustrates that Asia has been a giant convergent zone for more than 500 million years, and the Phanerozoic construction and evolution of Asia involved the opening and closure of Tithyan ocean basin and the collision and accretion of Gondwana-derived continental blocks and the Indian Craton Subduction processes, arc and back-arc basin generation, and continent-continent and arccontinent collisions led to the principal orogenic events.

Intra-oceanic arcs of the Paleo-Asian Ocean

TL;DR: In this article, structural position of intra-oceanic arc volcanic rocks in association with back-arc terranes and accretionary complexes, major periods of intra oceanic arc magmatism and related juvenile crustal growth, geochemical features and typical ranges of Nd isotope values of volcanic rocks are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phanerozoic granitoids in the central and eastern parts of Central Asia and their tectonic significance

TL;DR: In the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOBB) as discussed by the authors, the granitoids occupy a total area more than 8 million km2, with three major area peaks at Cambro-Ordovician, Carboniferous-Permian, and Jurassic.

Tectonic models for accretion of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

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.

Mantle geochemistry: the message from oceanic volcanism

TL;DR: Basaltic volcanism'samples' the Earth's mantle to great depths, because solid-state convection transports deep material into the (shallow) melting region as mentioned in this paper.

Orogenic gold deposits : A proposed classification in the context of their crustal distribution and relationship to other gold deposit types

TL;DR: The orogenic gold deposits were formed during compressional to transpressional deformation processes at convergent plate margins in accretionary and collisional orogens as discussed by the authors, with gold deposition from 15-20 km to the near surface environment.
