1a). This suggests that east-west variations in the strength of the Asian plates might have played a dominant role for the development of the observed heterogeneous structure of the whole Himalayan-Tibetan system. This study uses three-dimensional continental collision models to investigate the role...
The oceanic plate is pushed under the continental plate and melted. ... Continental plates are much thicker that Oceanic plates. At the convergent boundaries the continental plates are pushed upward and gain thickness. The rocks and geological layers are much older on continental plates than in th...
7). Mountain belts are generated not only along converging boundaries through either subduction of an oceanic plate beneath a continental margin (accretionary orogeny) or collision of two continental plates (collision orogeny), but also along converged boundaries through reactivation of fossil subduction ...
A new chronology of the tectonic evolution history was established in which three distinct stages were separated. The Early Jurassic (200~170 Ma) was dominated by coeval landward subduction of the oceanic plates and the development of active continental margins and magmatic activity along the ...
in particular for the samples of the Palaeocene (circa 65–60 Ma), suggest a close affinity of these samples with continental arc mafic rocks (such as Kamchatka and Honshu arcs) that are derived from mantle wedges metasomatized by addition of predominantly terrigenous sediments (Fig.2c,d)...

Cenozoic evolution of the Central Andes in Bolivia and northern Chile The Central Andes in Bolivia and northern Chile form part of a wide and obliquely convergent plate-boundary zone where the oceanic Nazca plate is being subducted beneath the continental South American plate. In the latest Cretaceo...
