Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ihsan Ketin NATO Advanced Study Institute on the Tectonic Evolution of the Tethyan Region was conceived in 1982 in Veszprem, Hungary, when three of the organizers (B. C. B. , L. H. R. and A. M. C. 9. ) had come together for a meeting on the tectonics of the Pannonian basin. All three of us had experience in the Tethyan belt and all three of us had been for some time deploring the lack of communication among workers of this immense orogenic belt. Much new work had been completed in such previously little-known areas as Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, the People's Republic of China, the entire Himalayan region, as well as new work in the European parts of the chain. Also, ironically, parts of the belt had just been closed to field work for political reasons, so it seemed as if the time was right to sit back and consider what had been done so far. Because the Istanbul group had had an interest in the whole of the Tethyan belt and because that ancient city was more centrally locElted with excellent opportunities to see both Palaeo- and Neo-Tethyan rocks in a weekend excursion, we thought that Istanbul was a natural place for such a meeting, not mentioning its own considerable attractions for the would-be contributors. A happy coincidence was that Prof.

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southwest Asia is one of the most remarkable regions on Earth in terms of active faulting and folding, large-magnitude earthquakes, volcanic landscapes, petroliferous foreland basins, historical civilizations as well as geologic outcrops that display the protracted and complex 540 m.y. stratigraphic record of Earth's Phanerozoic Era. Emerged from the birth and demise of the Paleo-Tethys and Neo-Tethys oceans, southwest Asia is currently the locus of ongoing tectonic collision between the Eurasia-Arabia continental plates. The region is characterized by the high plateaus of Iran and Anatolia fringed by the lofty ranges of Zagros, Alborz, Caucasus, Taurus, and Pontic mountains; the region also includes the strategic marine domains of the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Caspian, and Mediterranean. This 19-chapter volume, published in honor of Manuel Berberian, a preeminent geologist from the region, brings together a wealth of new data, analyses, and frontier research on the geologic evolution, collisional tectonics, active deformation, and historical and modern seismicity of key areas in southwest Asia.

This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geological evolution of Central Asia commenced with the formation of a complex Precambrian–Palaeozoic orogen. Cimmerian blocks were then accreted to the southern margin in the Mesozoic, leading to tectonic reactivation of older structures and discrete episodes of basin formation. The Indian and Arabian blocks collided with Asia in the Cenozoic, leading to renewed structural reactivation, intracontinental deformation and basin development. This complex evolution resulted in the present-day setting of an elongated Tien Shan range flanked by large Mesozoic–Cenozoic sedimentary basins with smaller intramontane basins distributed within the range. This volume presents multidisciplinary results and reviews from research groups in Europe and Central Asia that focus on the western part of the Tien Shan and some of the adjacent large sedimentary basins. These works elucidate the Late Palaeozoic–Cenozoic tectono-sedimentary evolution of the area. Emphasis is given to the collision of terranes and continents and the ensuing fault reactivations. The impact of climatic changes on sedimentation is also examined.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis presented here suggests that nearly all of the Eurasian "intra-cratonic" structures, classically viewed by some geologists to have resulted from primary vertical movements, may be products of horizontal movements caused by repeated orogenies around the periphery of cratons. Understanding the evolution of the Cimtnerides together with their fore- and hinterlands sheds much light on the Mesozoic tectonics of all of Asia and eastern Europe and leads to a number of interesting concepts concerning continental evolution, such as "hidden subduction." Finally, a study on the evolution of ideas on the Cimmerides clearly shows how much we remain under the spell of the Kober-Stillean fixist philosophy.

Abstract: The Eastern Tianshan Belt (ETB) represents an important component of the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) between Eastern Europe-Siberia and Tarim-North China, and thus its evolution is of vital importance in understanding the evolution of the southern CAOB. Although extensive investigations were carried out on the ETB in the last decade, controversies still surround the accretionary and collisional processes operative during the development of one microcontinent (Central Tianshan; CTS) and two oceans (Junggar and South Tianshan). This Ph.D. research attempts to resolve the controversial issues by incorporating detrital zircon study with petrological, geochronological and geochemical investigations on Paleozoic sedimentary/magmatic rocks in the ETB. New detrital zircon studies on late Paleozoic (meta-)sedimentary rocks from the North (NTS) and South Tianshan (STS) indicate that the CTS was once part of the northern Tarim during Precambrian time because of their indistinguishable detrital zircon age profiles and Hf isotope compositions. Particularly, Ordovician-Silurian (475-440 Ma) detrital zircons with low negative εHf(t) values predominatein Paleozoic sediments in and surrounding the CTS (including northern Tarim), suggesting that coeval magmatic rocks constituted the main body of the CTS at that time. In combination with previous studies, the CTS most probably developed as a continental arc along the northern Tarim, facing the subduction of the Junggar oceanic plate in the early Paleozoic, with its crust progressively thickened in a compressional environment during subduction zone advance, which gave rise to the generation of thickened lower curst-derived adakitic rocks in the CTS at 450 Ma. Through applying zircon Hf isotope mapping of Paleozoic (500-380 Ma) magmatism from different tectonic units of the ETB, the incipient opening of the STS back-arc basin along the northern Tarim is restricted to have occurred in the Late Ordovician, which is consistent with the discovery of 450 Ma adakitic rocks in the CTS and is further substantiated by the fact that well-defined ophiolitic rocks in the STS are mostly younger than 445 Ma. The opening of the STS back-arc basin, accompanied with the separation of the CTS as a microcontinent, was probably triggered by the concurrent rollback of the Junggar oceanic plate, resulting in a regional tectonic switching from subduction zone advance (before 450 Ma) to retreat (since 450-440 Ma), as supported by the immediate change in detrital zircon εHf(t) values from dominantly negative to positive, the exhumation of high-pressure mafic granulites at the northern margin of the CTS at 430 Ma and the emergence of a series of Devonian-Carboniferous island arcs in the Junggar Ocean. The closure of the eastern segment of the STS Ocean between CTS and Beishan most likely took place in the Late Devonian, as evidenced by the occurrence of 380 Ma regional metamorphism in the southern CTS, whereas the Junggar Ocean was most probably closed in the latest Carboniferous, as evidenced by recognition of 300 Ma regional metamorphism in the northern CTS, consistent with 325-310 Ma mafic-felsic magmatism showing subduction-related signatures and 290 Ma mafic plutons exhibiting within-plate basalt affinities.

Book excerpt: The evolution of Asia has largely occurred over the last 400 million years, and continues today. Seeing a continent in the act of assembly provides a rare opportunity to study the processes by which continents are constructed and internally modified. This book is a collection of twenty-one contributions on the tectonic evolution of Asia. The book is divided into five parts: geodynamic models of the Cenozoic deformation in Asia, seismotectonics, geological evolution of the Himalaya–Karakoram Ranges, tectonics of the Cenozoic Indo–Asia collision, and Mesozoic–Paleozoic assembly of Asia. Several important problems are addressed in detail, including the origin of the Tibetan Plateau, the nature of ultra-high pressure metamorphism in east-central Asia, the accretion of microcontinents to Asia, and the accommodation mechanisms of the Indo-Asian collision. The Tectonic Evolution of Asia provides an authoritative description of our current understanding of Asian tectonics and continental growth for graduate students and researchers.

Abstract: The Hegenshan-Heihe belt (HHB) represents a suture zone resulting from the collision of the Xing'an and Songliao blocks located in the eastern segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The formation of the HHB marks the destruction of the oceanic lithosphere and the closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean (PAO). It has been a long-time debate regarding the tectonic evolution of the Xing'an and Songliao blocks and the intervening ocean during Paleozoic time, particularly the final closure timing of the PAO along the HHB. This project is aimed to address these issues by integrating the geochronology and geochemistry of the Paleozoic volcanic rocks and their tectonic setting with the detrital zircon data. The geochronological and geochemical data for two suites of the Paleozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks suggest two long-lived island-arc systems along the southern margin of the Xing'an block and the northern margin of the Songliao Block. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating results indicate that the Ordovician volcanic rocks developing at the southern margin of the Xing'an block erupted at ca. 447Ma and geochemically resemble the arc-related volcanism with strongly enriched LREE and LILE. The zircon ages also revealed the basement information of the Xing'an block by yielding age populations similar to 2.5, 1.8, 1.2, and 0.8 Ga from the inherited zircons, most likely shed from the deep continental crust during the magma migration and contamination. Similar features were also discovered in the locally deposited Silurian-Devonian sedimentary strata. This study suggests an Andean-type continental margin developing at the southern margin of the Xing'an block, associated with the northward subduction of the PAO from Ordovician to Devonian (ca.465-392Ma). The Carboniferous volcanic rocks developed at the northern margin of the Songliao block, associated with the coevally deposited sedimentary strata, showing a close affinity with oceanic island-arc, and the sedimentary strata formed in a back-arc/forearc basin. This study also suggests a Western Pacific-type subduction and arc-basin system developing at the northern margin of the Songliao block during Ordovician to Carboniferous time (ca. 452-315 Ma). The detrital zircon analysis suggests that a provenance transfer for the sedimentary strata developing in the HHB took place between the Late Carboniferous and Permian, with the Carboniferous strata sourcing Paleozoic detritus from the isolated island-arcs and the Permian strata sourcing Precambrian detritus from the approximate continent. Integrated with the previously reported data, this study suggests that the final closure of the PAO along the HHB occurred at some time between 303-312 Ma. This study also reports a suite of Mesozoic bimodal volcanic rocks in Zhalantun area, which was previously thought to be Permian in age, namely the Dashizhai formation. This suite of volcanic rocks formed in a regional extensional environment, which was mostly likely induced by the post-collisional extension of the eastern CAOB. On the basis of new data presented in this thesis combined with previous studies, I present a new tectonic model for the Paleozoic subduction and collision followed by a Mesozoic extension for the Hegenshan-Heihe suture zone.
