Cai et al., 2010) also have ridge subduction. Due to the special structure and shape of ridges, ridge subduction plays an important role in the angle of the subduction slab, the thermal structure of subduction zones, magmatism, and mineralization (Cole & Stewart, 2009;Z. Zhang et al., 2010). Therefore, the identification of ridge subduction in the subduction zone is very important for understanding the tectonic evolution. The Qiangtang terrane in the central Tibet is sandwiched between the Bangong-Nujiang Suture and Jisha Suture. The Shuanghu Suture Zone divided the Qiangtang terrane into eastern Qiangtang and western Qiangtang subterrane, which is the key area for the evolution of the Shuanghu Palaeo-Tethys Ocean (C. Li, Zhai, Wang, Yin, & Mao, 2009). However, there are different opinions about the closing time of Shuanghu Palaeo-Tethys Ocean, including: (a) studies on the high-pressure metamorphic rocks in the central
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
