Abstract The Mesozoic Western Pacific subduction system significantly impacted the North
China and South China blocks along the East Asian continental margin and influenced the …

The configuration and kinematics of continental deformation and its marginal plate tectonics
on the Earth's surface are intrinsic manifestations of plate-mantle coupling. The complex …

A plate tectonic model for the Cenozoic development of the region of SE Asia and the SW
Pacific is presented and its implications are discussed. The model is accompanied by …

Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental
deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …

During the Late Mesozoic and Cenozoic, extension was widespread in Eastern China and
adjacent areas. The first rifting stage spanned in the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous times …

The multiphase intensive intra-continental deformation of the Eurasian continent in the
Cenozoic caused by Indo–Asian and Pacific–Asian collisions has been studied extensively …

A series of paleogeographic maps of the Japanese Islands, from their birth at ca 750–700
Ma to the present, is newly compiled from the viewpoint of plate tectonics. This series …

The active left-slip Altyn Tagh fault defines the northern edge of the Tibetan plateau. To
determine its deformation history we conducted integrated research on Cenozoic …

This global study of 31 off-shore back-arc basins and subbasins (BABs) identifies their
principal characteristics based on a broad spectrum of geophysical and subduction-related …

Detrital zircon provenance data for the Tananao schist in eastern Taiwan is consistent with
its protolith being deposited on the South China continental margin at around, or soon after …
