Tectonic Controls on Block Rotation and Sheeted Sill Emplacement in the Xigaze Ophiolite (Tibet): The Construction Mode of Slow‐Spreading and Ultraslow‐Spreading Oceanic Crusts
Abstract The internal structure of oceanic crusts is not well understood due to the limitation of deep drilling. However, that of ophiolites, i.e., on‐land ancient analogs of oceanic lithosphere, could be precisely mapped and measured. The Xigaze ophiolite in Tibet has been regarded as “peculiar”, d...
