Geologic evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen
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 …

Crustal–lithospheric structure and continental extrusion of Tibet
Crustal shortening and thickening to c. 70–85 km in the Tibetan Plateau occurred both
before and mainly after the c. 50 Ma India–Asia collision. Potassic–ultrapotassic shoshonitic …

Reconstruction of the deformed collision zone between India and Asia by backward motion of lithospheric blocks
On the basis of a synthesis of tectonic data available on the India‐Asia collision, we present
a first attempt to reconstruct the evolution of the collision zone. Assuming that the …
