The Taiwan mountain belt is the result of an arc-continent collision following total subduction South China Sea and subsequent closure Luzon forearc, a process important in accretionary growth continents. Due to oblique convergence, southern tip Island experiencing incipient collision, which key observing oceanic-continental transition. Within monotonous turbidite extensively exposed on Hengchu...

Regional-scale fault systems are important in adjusting intracontinental deformation. Closure of the Paleo-Tethys, Paleo-Pacific subduction, and India-continent-continent collision have all interacted to shape Meso-Cenozoic tectonics South China. The Ziyun-Luodian (ZLF) straddles across Guizhou region southwestern New petrographic structural studies were conducted reveal evolution ZLF regional ...

Abstract Late brittle extension is a common feature in orogenic belts, and its role mountain building processes still the subject of debate. Its timing relationship with crustal thickening, topography, basin infill, rock exhumation are key importance determining whether it major factor development or merely causes near-surface secondary effects. We examined this question relation to active arc-...
