It provides an in-detail but also broad insight into the Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the region, not only pin-pointing the debated location of the Solonker Suture but also the timing of final disappearance of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean during Permian to Early Triassic times. The results have led to propose a tectonic ‘soft-collision’ model for the amalgamation of the North China Craton and the Mongolian Terranes in northern Asia explaining the general absence of geologic features characteristic for continent-continent collisions such as the occurrence of regional-scale high-grade metamorphic rocks, ophiolite belts and fold-thrust structures. This new model may serve as a blueprint for the tectonic evolution of similar suture zones that are characterized by the absence of typical collision related lithologies and structures. The thesis is particularly useful as a guide for researchers who seek an in-depth understanding of the Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic tectonic evolution of northern China and Central Asia along the Solonker Suture. .Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Structural geologySedimentologyGeochemistryStructural Geologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17040Sedimentologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17080Geochemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G14003Structural geology.Sedimentology.Geochemistry.Structural Geology.Sedimentology.Geochemistry.551.8Eizenhöfer Paul Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut871939MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910366630503321Subduction and Closure of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean along the Solonker Suture Zone: Constraints from an Integrated Sedimentary Provenance Analysis1946800UNINA
