This volume provides a state-of-the-art account of the geology of part of Central Asia named The Cen-tral Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB).
This belt is formed by accretion of island arcs, ophio lites, oceanic islands, seamounts, accretionary wedges, oceanic plateaux and micro-continents (c. 1000–250 Ma ago) by similar pro-cesses to those in the circum-Pacifi c Mesozoic–Cenozoic accretionary orogens.
Also known as Altaids, this region is one of the lar-
gest orogenic belts on Earth, extending from the Ural Mountains in the West to far eastern Siberia. It is the product of a complex evolution lasting for more than 800 million years from the latest Me-soproterozoic to the end of the Palaeozoic. The CAOB consists of numerous accreted terranes, and remnants of oceanic crust that are preserved as fragmented ophiolites. Al though the broad his-tory of this huge territory is now reasonably well understood there are still major unanswered ques-tions such as the rate and volume of crustal growth, the origin of continental fragments, the detailed me-chanism of accretion and collision, the role of ter-rane rotations during the orogeny, and the age and composition of the lower crust in Central Asia.
Large parts of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz-stan, Siberia and parts of Mongolia) treated in this volume have only been poorly covered in scholar-ly western publications. Most contributions of this book are by Russian scientists actively involved in fi eld and laboratory research of the CAOB and with an intimate knowledge of the terranes which they describe and analyse. Blue lines on the cover map show areas discussed in this book.In view of the increasing signifi cance of Central Asia because of its wealth of mineral resources, this volume is of interest to readers from all fi elds of the geosciences and from academics to industry.
