Flexural bending of southern Tibet in a retro foreland setting
The highest elevation of the Tibetan Plateau, lying 5,700 m above sea level, occurs within the part of the Lhasa block immediately north of the India-Tibet suture zone (Yarlung Zangbo suture zone, YZSZ), being 700 m higher than the maximum elevation of more northern parts of the plateau. Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain this differentially higher topography and the rock uplift t...
متن کاملPetrography and geochemistry of magmatic rocks in north of Kalate Shab area (East of Sarbisheh), Eastern Iran
The study area is located about 105 kilometers east of Sarbisheh in Southern Khorasan and in the Sistan suture zone. The magmatic rocks of this area are exposed as intrusive and sub volcanice including diorite, quartz diorite, porphyry quartz diorite and porphyry diorite with Oligocene- Miocene age. These rocks have granular, porphyry with fine- grained matrix, ophitic, intergranular and glomer...
متن کاملIndus-Yarlung-Tsangpo Suture Zone Concept- A Second Opinion
It is believed that Greater India migrated from the southern hemisphere, collided with Gondwanaland, Angaraland and Cathaysia, thereby closing an intervening oceanic Tethys along the Indus-Yarlung-Tsangpo Suture Zone (IYTSZ).The suture zone is placed along the Chaman Fault in the Baluchistan-Afghanistan area in the west, and the Indus-Yarlung-Tsangpo in the north, whereas along the east from Th...
متن کاملPaleocene–Eocene record of ophiolite obduction and initial India-Asia collision, south central Tibet
[1] Uppermost Cretaceous to Eocene marine sedimentary sequences occur both to the south and north of the Yarlung Zangbo suture in south central Tibet. They consist of Indian-margin strata of the northern Tethyan Himalaya and Asian-margin strata of the Gangdese forearc. Both assemblages are characterized by major changes in depositional environment and sedimentary provenance at 65 Ma and an appe...
متن کاملDetailed Geochemistry and K-Ar Geochronology of the Metamorphic Sole Rocks and Their Mafic Dykes from the Mersin Ophiolite, Southern Turkey
The metamorphic sole rocks at the base of mantle peridotites from the Mersin ophiolite consist of amphibolites and metasedimentary lithologies. Mineral parageneses in the metamorphic sole rocks exhibit amphibolite and greenschist facies assemblages. Geothermobarometric studies based on mineral assemblages and chemical compositions of minerals indicate that average metamorphic temperature during...
