Late Oligocene Orogen‐Scale Tilting in Northern Tibet: A Response to Northward Injection of the Tibetan Lower Crust?

The East Kunlun Shan (EKLS) in northern Tibet occupies boundaries of the low-relief topography and lower crustal low-velocity zone interior plateau, making it ideal for exploring relationship surface deformation with underlying geodynamic processes. We used previous new apatite (U-Th)/He data to analyze exhumation history pattern throughout EKLS link deep structures. Integrated ages reveal rapid at 27–25 Ma, due coeval orogen-scale tilting EKLS. Along structures beneath EKLS, is inferred that isostatic response nonuniform thickening related northward injection Tibetan crust. This study highlights role ductile within crust mountain building Tibet, which shares a similarity eastern plateau margin.
