自板块构造说问世以来,凡论及喜马拉雅山的构造或构造演化、印度洋及印度板块大陆的岩石古地磁资料,或论述全球构造的文章,几乎都或隐或显地提到喜马拉雅区的俯冲作用。但近来还有人想把俯冲带北移至新疆境内的昆仑山脉,有人甚至设想喜马拉雅西北段有岛弧发育和弧后扩张作用。 Since the advent of plate tectonics, almost all or implicit or explicit references have been made to the subduction of the Himalayas in terms of tectonism or tectonic evolution of the Himalayas, paleomagnetic data of rocks in the Indian Ocean and Indian plate continents, or articles addressing global structures . Recently, however, some people even wanted to divert the subduction zone to the Kunlun Mountains to the north of Xinjiang. Some even envisioned the development of island arcs and the post-arc dilation in the northwestern part of the Himalayas.
