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. . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aStructural geology 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aGeochemistry 606 $aStructural Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17040 606 $aSedimentology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17080 606 $aGeochemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G14003 615 0$aStructural geology. 615 0$aSedimentology. 615 0$aGeochemistry. 615 14$aStructural Geology. 615 24$aSedimentology. 615 24$aGeochemistry. 676 $a551.8 700 $aEizenhöfer$b Paul R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0871939 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910366630503321 996 $aSubduction and Closure of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean along the Solonker Suture Zone: Constraints from an Integrated Sedimentary Provenance Analysis$91946800 997 $aUNINA
