Ridge-induced tectonic heterogeneity: Reappraising the Devonian geodynamic mechanism along the southeastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt
Continental crustal growth mechanisms remain a pivotal frontier in geoscience. The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), Earth’s largest accretionary orogen, provides critical insights into Phanerozoic crustal evolution. Devonian records along the southeastern CAOB are key to deciphering mid-Paleozoic crustal growth. Thi...
