Geological reconstructions of the East Asian blocks: From the breakup of Rodinia to the assembly of Pangea
Guochun Zhao,Guochun Zhao,Yuejun Wang,Baochun Huang,Yunpeng Dong,Sanzhong Li,Guowei Zhang,Shan Yu +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out geological and paleomagnetic investigations on East Asian blocks and associated orogenic belts, supported by a NSFC Major Program entitled “Reconstructions of East Asian Blocks in Pangea”.

Closure of the Proto-Tethys Ocean and Early Paleozoic amalgamation of microcontinental blocks in East Asia
Sanzhong Li,Shujuan Zhao,Xin Liu,Huahua Cao,Shan Yu,Xiyao Li,Ian D. Somerville,Shengyao Yu,Yanhui Suo +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Proto-Tethys Ocean is defined as a complex complex paleo-ocean located between the Tarim-North China and the Sibumasu/Baoshan blocks, and it was opened from the rifting of the Supercontinent Rodinia and mainly closed at the end of the Early Paleozoic.
Mediterranean-style closure of the Paleo-Tethys ocean
TL;DR: The Qiangtang metamorphic belt (QMB) in central Tibet is one of the largest and most recently documented high pressure to near-ultra-high pressure (near-UHP) belts on Earth.
Locating South China in Rodinia and Gondwana: A fragment of Greater India Lithosphere? (Invited)
TL;DR: The South China craton was formed at the end of the Mesoproterozoic by Rodinia and occupied a position adjacent to Western Australia and northern India in the early NeoproTERozoic as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic Evolution of Sundaland
TL;DR: Sundaland as discussed by the authors is a heterogeneous collage of continental blocks and volcanic arcs bounded by narrow suture zones that represent the remnants of ancient ocean basins, including the Palaeo-Tethys and Meso-tethys.

Geologic Evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogen
An Yin,T. Mark Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400 km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo-Asian collision at about 70 Ma as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cenozoic geological and plate tectonic evolution of SE Asia and the SW Pacific: computer-based reconstructions, model and animations
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the Cenozoic development of the region of SE Asia and the SW Pacific is presented and its implications are discussed, accompanied by computer animations in a variety of formats.
Book ChapterDOI
Interpreting Provenance Relations from Detrital Modes of Sandstones
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare sandstone compositions by grouping diverse grain types into a few operational categories having broad genetic significance and displaying compositional fields associated with different provenances on standard triangular diagrams.

Gondwana dispersion and Asian accretion: Tectonic and palaeogeographic evolution of eastern Tethys
Ian Metcalfe,Ian Metcalfe +1 more
TL;DR: The Phanerozoic evolution of the region is the result of more than 400 million years of continental dispersion from Gondwana and plate tectonic convergence, collision and accretion as discussed by the authors.

Review of global 2.1-1.8 Ga orogens: implications for a pre-Rodinia supercontinent
TL;DR: The existence of a supercontinent existing before Rodinia, referred to herein as Columbia, a name recently proposed by Rogers and Santosh [Gondwana Res. 5 (2002) 5] for a Paleo-Mesoproterozoic super-continent, was confirmed by available lithostratigraphic, tectonothermal, geochronological and paleomagnetic data as mentioned in this paper.
