| Abstract | Large-scale N -S shortening induced by India -Asia convergence caused the formation of numerous E-W-trending mountain ranges in Tibet. However, the mechanism(s) of formation of N-S-trending mountain ranges remains elusive. We report on a felsic magmatic belt located along the N-S-trending Yardoi-Kongbugang mountain ranges on the flank of the Cona rift in the eastern Tethyan Himalaya. Zircon and monazite geochronology and whole -rock geochemistry revealed three epochs of middle- to lower -crustal anatexis beneath the Cona rift at ca. 47-42 Ma, 35-34 Ma, and 24-14 Ma. The mid -Eocene and early Oligocene granitoids show adakitic signatures indicating continuous crustal thickening, while the formation of Miocene leucogranites and N-S-trending dacitic dikes was related to ductile crustal extension. Silicic melts were exposed along the whole rift since the early Oligocene, suggesting that the early Oligocene could be regarded as a transitional epoch from tectonic compression to orogen-parallel extension. Widespread midEocene and Miocene magmatism in the Himalaya, together with coeval metamorphic anatexis, represents two phases of crustal weakening. The weakened crustal zones under continued India -Asia convergence may have favored uplift and subsequent lateral flow of the weak zones, which initiated E -W extension. Finally, significant upwelling of the weak zones evolved into magma extrusion and formed the N-S-trending mountain ranges. This study provides new insights into the mechanisms of surface uplift and E -W extension and challenges the common view of initiation of E -W extension in southern Tibet not earlier than the early Miocene. |
