“…However, those areas in the easternmost Qiangtang Block to the east (right) side of the pivot‐bending part may also experience clockwise rotation. The Eocene clockwise rotation of the eastern Lhasa Block around the eastern Himalayan syntaxis and the Mangkang Basin at the southeastern Qiangtang Block (Huang et al, 1992; S. H. Li, van Hinsbergen, et al, 2018; Otofuji et al, 1990; Tanaka et al, 2008; Tong et al, 2016) and the Eocene intrusion of the leucogranite massif in the eastern Lhasa Block (Aikman et al, 2008; Ding et al, 2005; Hou et al, 2012; Lee & Whitehouse, 2007; Xu et al, 2015; Zeng et al, 2011; Zhu et al, 2011) are indicative of this rotation process.…”

“…A subsequent new model, the lower crust channel flow one, was proposed to interpret the continuous distributed deformation of the plateau crust and vertical rise in the plateau rim mountains (Royden et al, 1997). Persistent and great efforts have been made to test or modify these models from various aspects, such as tectonics (Burchfiel et al, 1989; Cook & Royden, 2008; Molnar et al, 1993; Pusok & Kaus, 2015; Tapponnier et al, 1982, 2001; Yin & Harrison, 2000), magmatism (Chung et al, 1998; Harrison et al, 1992; Hou et al, 2004; Mo et al, 2006; Turner et al, 1996; Q. Wang, Wyman, et al, 2008; Zheng & Wu, 2018), metamorphism (Arnaud et al, 2003; Bird, 1991; Cheng et al, 2016; Cottle et al, 2015; Ding et al, 2005; Grujic et al, 1996; Hou et al, 2012; Li et al, 2006; Parrish et al, 2006; de Sigoyer et al, 2000; Smit et al, 2014; Xu et al, 2015), geophysical explorations (e.g., Brown et al, 1996; Gao et al, 1999, 2013; Haines et al, 2003; Nelson et al, 1996; Zhao et al, 2017), sedimentation and basin evolution (DeCelles et al, 2007; Fang et al, 2003, 2005, 2019; C. S. Wang, Zhao, et al, 2008; Wang, Dai, et al, 2014; Yin et al, 2002), cooling history and rise, and surface elevation histories calculated from various paleoaltimetry data (Cyr et al, 2005; DeCelles et al, 2007; Deng et al, 2019; Ding et al, 2014, 2017; Rowley & Currie, 2006; Spicer et al, 2003; Su et al, 2019); however, none of the models can favorably explain when and how the plateau was deformed, uplifted, and grown. The central TP is an ideal realm for investigating the plateau deformation and uplift models.…”

When and how the TP underwent uplift and deformation are still under heated debate. We present paleomagnetic evidence for the NB in the northeastern central TP to help decipher the potential plateau deformation mechanism. Magnetostratigraphy with zircon U‐Pb age of volcanic rock demonstrates that the NB basin deposited during 52.5–35.0 Ma. Paleomagnetic declinations indicate that the basin experienced counterclockwise rotation of 25.9 ± 7.2° during 52–46 Ma and clockwise rotation of 24.4 ± 9.7° during 41–35 Ma, which coexisted with the intrusion and explosion of volcanic rocks at 51–46 and 39–35 Ma. We proposed a stepwise compression and extrusion model to interpret the basin deposition, rotation, and volcanism by northward compression and eastward extrusion of the eastern Lhasa and Qiangtang Blocks (Proto‐TP) in relation to the Sichuan Basin as early response to the India‐Asia collision.

“…55 Ma, resulting in the formation of the Himalaya-Tibetan orogenic belt (HTOB) in the Tethys regime (Figs. 1 and 2; Yin and Harrison, 2000;Tapponnier et al, 2001;Yin, 2010;Hu et al, 2016;Xu et al, 2016). The N-S shortening of the HTOB led to the uplift and growth of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, forming a continental crust with huge thickness twice the normal crust.…”

This is a review of the formation and tectonic evolution of the continental Asia in Phanerozoic. The continental Asia has formed on the bases of some pre‐Cambrian cratons, such as the Siberia, India, Arabia, North China, Tarim, South China, and Indochina, through multi‐stage plate convergence and collisional collages in Phanerozoic. The north‐central Asia had experienced the expansion and subduction of the Paleo‐Asian Ocean (PAO) in the early Paleozoic and the closure of the PAO in the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic, forming the PAO regime and Central Asian orogenic belt (CAOB). In the core of the CAOB, the Mongol‐Okhotsk Ocean (MOO) opened with limited expansion in the Early Permian and finally closed in the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous. The south‐central Asia had experienced mainly multi‐stage oceanic opening, subduction and collision evolution in the Tethys Ocean, forming the Tethys regime and Himalaya‐Tibetan orogenic belt. In eastern Asia, the plate subduction and continental margin orogeny on western margin of the Pacific Ocean, forms the West Pacific regime and West Pacific orogenic belt. The PAO, Tethys, and West Pacific regimes, together with Precambrian cratons among or surrounding them, made up the major tectonic and dynamic systems of the continental Asia in Phanerozoic. Major tectonic events, such as the Early Paleozoic Qilian, Uralian, and Dunhuang orogeneses, the late Paleozoic East Junggar, Tianshan and West Junggar orogeneses, the Middle to Late Permian Ailaoshan orogeny and North‐South Lhasa collision, the early Mesozoic Indochina‐South China and North‐South China collisions, the late Mesozoic Mongolia‐Okhotsk orogeny, Lhasa‐Qiangtang collision, and intra‐continental Yanshanian orogeny, and the Cenozoic Indo‐Asian, Arab‐Asian, and West Pacific margin collisions, constrained the formation and evolution of the continental Asia. The complex dynamic systems have left large number of deformation features, such as large‐scale strike‐slip faults, thrust‐fold systems and extensional detachments on the continental Asia. Based on past tectonics, a future supercontinent, the Ameurasia, is prospected for the development of the Asia in ca. 250 Myr.
