Editorial for Special Issue “Tectonic Evolution of the Tethys Ocean in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau”

Key Points

The aim is to explore the tectonic evolution of the Tethys Ocean within the context of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Discussion of evolutionary phases: Proto-Tethys, Palaeo-Tethys, Neo-Tethys.
Analysis of the geological impact of continental drift and convergence.
The Tethys Ocean plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamics of continental movements.
Identification of key tectonic events that shaped oceanic evolution.

Abstract

The Tethys Ocean, a geodynamically pivotal transcontinental oceanic system sandwiched between the Laurasian and Gondwanan supercontinents, underwent successive evolutionary phases (Proto-Tethys, Palaeo-Tethys, Neo-Tethys) sculpted by continental drift, convergence, and breakup ...
