Abstract
The study of metamorphic rocks and deformation and metamorphic features in Gangdise-Lhasa metamorphic zone is helpful for the establishment of regional tectonic framework and the discussion of the evolution history of the region, which will provide new basic data for the study of geological structure evolution in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. There are few studies on metamorphic rocks in the northern area of Lhasa, Tibet. This paper summarizes and studies them from the perspective of petrography, and briefly discusses the stages of deformation and metamorphism. The area is divided into two metamorphic belts, which are divided into Yebagou-Gandansi metamorphic belt and Shexing-Binjiaolin metamorphic belt from south to north. The types of metamorphic rocks are slate, kyanite and schist. The dynamic metamorphism is manifested as brittle deformation and ductile deformation. The dynamic metamorphic rock belt developed in the area is several kilometers long, which basically belongs to the low green schist facies belt. The metamorphism in the area occurs under the geological background of the northward subduction, subduction and collision of the Neotethys oceanic crust plate. And with the change of tectonic environment and heat flow, different metamorphisms are produced in different geological development stages.
