“…This was also accompanied by a period of slightly accelerated Indian convergence (Figure ). Later slow to minimal early Miocene cooling was probably associated with the proposed decrease in subduction angle of the Indian slab following its breakoff as recorded by contemporary ultrapotassic magmatism in southern Lhasa [ Tian et al , ] (Figure ). This cooling pattern coincides with a slightly decrease in the India‐Asia convergence at that time (~25–15 Ma) [ van Hinsbergen et al , ].…”

(b) Relative India‐Asia convergent velocities of Eastern/Western Himalayan Syntaxis (E/WHS) from ~120 Ma to present [ van Hinsbergen et al , ] showing timing of the Morondova and Deccan LIPs, Initial India‐Asia collision [ DeCelles et al , ; Hu et al , ], Neo‐Tethys slab breakoff [ Ji et al , ], Indian slab tearing [ Zhang et al , ], and Indian slab breakoff reflected by ultrapotassic magmatism of the southern Lhasa terrane [ Tian et al , ]; LIP = Large Igneous Province.…”

“…The quartz monzonite porphyry samples are characterized by high SiO 2 (72.48–75.32 wt.%) and Al 2 O 3 (14.13–14.60 wt.%) contents and high K 2 O/Na 2 O (3.37–4.83) ratios, which are comparable with the postcollisional potassic rocks in South Tibet (Liu et al, , ; Zhang et al, ; Tian et al, ). In addition, they have different geochemical characteristics (e.g., low MgO [0.25–0.36 wt.%], Fe 2 O 3 [1.12–1.81 wt.%], Cr [1.55–4.75 ppm], and Ni [1.16–3 ppm]) from those of Miocene mantle‐derived ultrapotassic rocks in the Lhasa terrane (Miller et al, ; Ding et al, ; Zhao et al, ; Guo et al, ; Liu et al, ; Liu et al, ), and are also different from the Miocene adakitic rocks in South Tibet which show obvious geochemical characteristics of low Sr (32–98 ppm) and Sr/Y ratios (6–9) and relatively high Y (6.14–16.2 ppm) and Yb (0.7–1.33 ppm; Chen et al, ; Chung et al, ; Guo et al, ; Hou et al, ; Li et al, ; Li et al, ; Xu et al, ).…”

“…So far, several models have been proposed to interpret the origin of Miocene postcollisional potassic rocks. These include (a) partial melting of the heterogeneous subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) metasomatized by fluids derived from dehydration of the subducted Indian lower crust (Ding et al, ; Miller et al, ; Tian et al, ), (b) partial melting of a mafic lower‐crustal source (Chen et al, ), (c) partial melting of the overthickened and isotopically heterogeneous Lhasa terrane crust (Liu et al, , ), and (d) partial melting of mélanges associated with the subducted Indian continent crust and mantle wedge materials in a continental subduction channel (Zhang, Guo, Zhang, Cheng, & Sun, ). Similarly, several models have been proposed for the formation mechanism of Miocene postcollisional adakitic rocks.…”

“…The Alpine–Himalayan belt is one of the largest continuous orogenic belts in the world and represents a classic continental collision with suture zones and microcontinental blocks. It extends from the eastern Mediterranean to the Himalayas and formed as a consequence of closure of the Neo‐Tethyan Ocean (Ricou, ; Rolland, Billo, Corsini, Sosson, & Galoyan, ; Stampfli & Borel, ; Tian et al, ; Trifonov, Ivanova, & Bachmanov, ). The Zagros Orogen is in the central part of the Alpine–Himalayan orogenic belt and formed as a result of the collision between the African–Arabian continent and the Iranian microcontinent in Late Cretaceous to Cenozoic times (Agard, Omrani, Jolivet, & Mouthereau, ; Agard et al, ; Alavi, , ; Berberian & King, ; Hafkenscheid, Wortel, & Spakman, ).…”
