【Abstract】 By using four seismic tomographic profiles of nearly 8 000 km long across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, we obtained the crustal and mantle velocity images and seismic wave anisotropy over the depth down to 400 km, which revealed significant characteristics of the crust and mantle structure in the region. The mantle velocity images indicate the presence of a mantle plume characterized by a large low-velocity anomalous body beneath the interior of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau; this feature shows its genetic relationship to the widespread Hoh-Xil Cenozoic potassic and alkaline volcanism through a thermal channel. The Altyn Tagh, Kangxiwa, Jinshajiang, Jiali and Yaluzangbu strike-slip faults extend downward to the depth of 300～400 km, which demonstrate the characteristics of a vertical low-velocity anomalous zone composed of high temperature material and the existence of large-scale translithospheric or mantle shear zones. The discontinuous anomalous high-velocity zones under the Kangxiwa, East Kunlun- Jinsha River , Bangong Lake-Nu River and Yaluzangbu sutures are tentatively interpreted as the “fossil” slab remnants of Caleodonian, Paleo-Tethyan and Meso-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere preserved during the terrane amalgamation and collision; they formed several slab remnants separating the anomalous low-velocity zones, and can be the geophysical evidence for “delamination”. The Indian lithospheric slab, which is marked by a gigantic, discontinuous anomalous high-velocity zone, was subducted gently northward to a depth of 300～400 km beneath the Tanggula Mountains. Based on the new tomographic data across the Himalaya and Tibet plateau, we proposed a new collisional model for the uplift of the Tibet plateau, which involves the “roll over” of the subducted Indian lithospheric slab beneath the south of the Tibetan Plateau, the southward intracontinental subduction of the cratonic lithosphere in the northern margin of the plateau, the upwelling of the deep mantle plume in the interior of the plateau, and the “dextral uplift” of the plateau within the limits of the deep mantle, as well as the motion and the extrusion of material toward the east and the northeast.更多还原
