英文摘要 | During continent-continent collision, does the downgoing continental plate underplate far inboard of the collisional boundary or does it subduct steeply into the mantle, and how is this geometry manifested in the mantle flow field? We test conflicting models for these questions for Earth's archetypal continental collision forming the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau. Air-corrected helium isotope data (He-3/He-4) from 225 geother-mal springs (196 from our group, 29 from the literature) delineate a boundary separat -ing a Himalayan domain of only crustal helium from a Tibetan domain with significant mantle helium. This 1,000-km-long boundary is located close to the Yarlung-Zangbo Suture (YZS) in southern Tibet from 80 to 92 degrees E and is interpreted to overlie the mantle suture where cold underplated Indian lithosphere is juxtaposed at >80 km depth against a sub-Tibetan incipiently molten asthenospheric mantle wedge. In south-eastern Tibet, the mantle suture lies 100 km south of the YZS, implying delamination of the mantle lithosphere from the Indian crust. This helium-isotopic boundary helps resolve multiple, mutually conflicting seismological interpretations. Our synthesis of the combined data locates the northern limit of Indian underplating beneath Tibet, where the Indian plate bends to steeper dips or breaks off beneath a (likely thin) asthenospheric wedge below Tibetan crust, thereby defining limited underthrusting for the Tibetan continental collision. |
