Plume-modified collision orogeny: The Tarim–western Tianshan example in Central Asia
Abstract
Plume-modified orogeny involves the interaction between a mantle plume and subducting oceanic lithosphere at accretionary margins. We propose that a plume can also be involved in collisional orogeny and accounts for the late Paleozoic geological relations in Central Asia. Continental collision between the Tarim and Central Tianshan–Yili blocks at the end Carboniferous resulted in an orogeny lacking continental-type (ultra)high-pressure [(U)HP]...
