Pacific subduction control on Asian continental deformation including Tibetan extension and eastward extrusion tectonics

The India-Asia collision has formed the highest mountains on Earth and is associated with extensive intraplate deformation. Here, the authors present geodynamic experiments of continental deformation across Central, East, and Southeast Asia which suggest that the Pacfic and Sunda subduction zones pl...
