S-wave velocity model and geodynamic interpretation of the northern Tibetan Plateau.

Caption

The upper plane is the three-dimensional visualizations of the S-wave velocity model, and points mark the ages of exposed post-collisional magmatic rocks. The lower plane is the geodynamic interpretation of Tibetan Plateau growth, which shows the Hoh-Xil Basin in the northern Tibetan Plateau was uplifted by lithospheric mantle removal and subsequent magmatic intrusion.
