Southern Tibetan rifting since late Miocene enabled by basal shear of the underthrusting Indian lithosphere
Abstract Syncontractional extension is prominent in present-day Tibet, but its origin remains vigorously debated. Several deep-seated geodynamic processes (e.g., Indian underthrusting, horizontal flow, and mantle upwelling) have been linked to Tibetan rifting. Indian underthrusting is a good candida...
