Three major issues remain unresolved regarding the origin and evolution of the central orogenic belt. These include: (1) the original relationships between the Hengshan, Wutaishan, and Fuping lithotectonic complexes of the Western block, central orogenic belt, and Eastern block, respectively; (2) structural, magmatic, and metamorphic histories of these complexes; and (3) the timing of the orogenic event that resulted in the closure of the ocean between the Western and Eastern continental blocks. These controversial issues likely stem from the... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
