Understanding changes in Earth’s past can provide valuable insights into prediction of its future. An example is the interactions between the internal and external spheres of Earth. The cyclical northward breakup-drift of Gondwana, driven by the opening and closure of Proto-, Paleo-, and Neo-Tethyan oceans, facilitated the transfer of landmasses from the southern to the northern hemisphere, traversing the tropic region. We have observed a compelling correlation between episodic increases in landmass area within the tropic regions (those lying at less than 20° latitude) and a subsequent temperature decrease during the three major glacial periods in the last 500 million years. This phenomenon can be attributed to low latitude regions receiving more solar energy influx on Earth’s surface than high latitude areas. In addition, an increase of landmass in tropic regions (low latitude) attenuates the net energy absorption by the Earth’s surface, consequently impeding the conduction and convection of absorbed energy toward the poles. The result is a decrease in global surface temperature. The tropic regions, benefiting from abundant sunlight, create an ideal environment for the proliferation of marine plankton species. These species are important in the generation of organic-rich sediment. Massive biological debris is therefore deposited on continental margins when a continent drifts across the tropic region. This creates favorable conditions for future hydrocarbon and reservoir formation. Northward subduction of organic-rich sediments during the closure of the Tethyan oceans results in the generation of mafic arc magmas with low oxygen fugacity. This chemical environment helps the mineralization of reduced-type ore deposits such as tungsten, tin, and lithium. Subducted-driven plate tectonics in the Tethys realm changes the distribution of oceans and landmass, subsequently affecting the balance and distribution of solar energy across Earth’s surface. These changes trigger consequential environmental shifts which in turn, impact the composition of rock and mineral along the Eurasian margin due to subduction. Consequently, the Tethyan realm and its history is an ideal natural laboratory for comprehending the processes and changes of the entire Earth’s system.

<p>The hydrocarbon accumulation modes and differences in the Tethyan realm serve as a hot research topic in the petroleum geology community at home and abroad. Both the Persian Gulf Basin in the Middle East and the Sichuan Basin in China, situated on the southern and northern sides of the Tethyan realm, respectively, record the whole geological process of the opening and closure of the Prototethys, the Paleotethys, and the Neotethys sequentially, exhibiting anomalous hydrocarbon enrichment Based on the analysis of the plate tectonic evolution in the Tethyan realm, this study dissects the structures and hydrocarbon accumulation conditions of both basins. Followed by a systematic comparative analysis of the factors controlling hydrocarbon enrichment in the process of plate breakup and convergence in the Tethyan realm, this study proposes petroleum exploration targets in the realm. The results are as follows: (1) Since the Meso-Neoproterozoic, the Persian Gulf Basin and the Sichuan Basin have undergone similar tectonic evolution in the early stage but different in the late stage. Under the influence of the formation and evolution of the Prototethys, Paleotethys, and Neotethys oceans, both basins experienced multi-stage development and modification, forming two major extension-convergence cycles. Consequently, both basins are characterized by the vertical orderly superimposition of various basin prototypes in the order of rift-intracratonic basin (passive continental margin)-foreland. (2) The fact that the Tethyan realm was long located at medium-low latitudes and the local anoxic environment formed in the process of plate breakup and convergence played a vital role in the formation of extensive source rocks. The source rocks are predominantly distributed in underfilled rifts and deep depressions that were connected to the ocean in the unidirectional continental breakup process; basin-slopes and intra-shelf basins on passive continental margins; basinal lows within intracratonic basins, and underfilled foredeeps in foreland basins. The favorable areas for the formation of carbonate reservoirs include platform margins, submarine highs and paleo-uplifts within platforms, and fault zones.

<p>The China Central Orogenic System (CCOS), extending in an east-west direction in the middle part of China, is composed of the Early Paleozoic Altyn-North Qilian-North Qaidam-East Kunlun-North Qinling-North Tongbai orogens in the west and the Late Paleozoic to Early Mesozoic South Tongbai-Hong’an-Dabie-Sulu orogens in the east. They were produced by oceanic subduction and continental subduction/collision during the closure of the Proto-Tethys and the Paleo-Tethys oceans, respectively. Different types of metamorphic rocks with various ages are extensively exposed in these orogens, and they were produced at different geothermal gradients in different stages during the tectonic evolution of convergent continental margins, making them ideal targets to reconstruct the spatiotemporal evolution of the Eastern Tethys tectonic domain. In this article, an integrated study of metamorphic temperature (<i>T</i>)-pressure (<i>P</i>)-time (<i>t</i>) records is presented for metamorphic rocks along the CCOS, aiming to ascertain the change of metamorphic <i>T/P</i> ratios in both time and space, and then shed light on the tectonic evolution of the East Tethys tectonic domain in association with the thermal state change of convergent continental margins. The results indicate that despite the difference in metamorphic ages, metamorphic rocks in different orogens show a common trend with clockwise <i>P-T-t</i> paths. With respect to plate convergence for subduction and collision, regional metamorphism is categorized into three stages: (1) an early convergent stage, corresponding to low <i>T/P</i> Alpine-type blueschist- to eclogite-facies high-<i>P</i> to ultrahigh-<i>P</i> metamorphism; (2) a later convergent stage, corresponding to the medium <i>T/P</i> Barrovian-type medium-<i>P</i> amphibolite to high-<i>P</i> granulite-facies metamorphism; and (3) a post-convergent stage, corresponding to the high <i>T/P</i> Buchan-type low-<i>P</i> amphibolite to MP granulite-facies metamorphism. Nonetheless, a few metamorphic rocks only record a two-sage metamorphic evolution, with an early Barrovian-type high-<i>P</i> granulite-facies metamorphism and a late Buchan-type low-<i>P</i> granulite-facies metamorphic overprinting. In modern convergent plate margins, Alpine-type metamorphism mainly occurs in the stages of oceanic subduction and continental collision, Barrovian-type metamorphism takes pace in both stages of crustal thickening during continental hard collision and slab exhumation when continental subduction zones have evolved from compressional to extensional regimes, and Buchan-type metamorphism occurs in intracontinental rifting stage after the plate convergence. Therefore, the tectonic evolution of convergent continental margins can be reconstructed by combining metamorphic <i>T/P</i> ratios with their corresponding metamorphic facies series and metamorphic timing of metamorphic rocks.

<p>The evolution and final closure of the Neo-Tethys Ocean are one of the most important geological events that have occurred on Earth since the Mesozoic. However, the evolution of the Neo-Tethys is not well constrained, in particular whether its opening occurred in the Permian or the Triassic and whether a plume was involved with its opening or not. In this study, we present geochronological and geochemical data for mafic igneous rocks in mélanges along the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone (YZSZ) in southern Tibet to constrain the timing and mechanism of opening the Neo-Tethys Ocean. Based on field observations, the YZSZ mélanges can be divided into three segments. The western (west of Zhongba) and eastern (Sangsang-Renbu) segments are composed of ocean plate stratigraphy representing accretionary complexes that formed during subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere beneath the southern margin of the Asian continent. Mélanges in the central segment (Zhongba-eastern Saga) typically have a siliciclastic matrix, and represent Tethyan Himalayan strata that were structurally mixed with the southern margin of the Asian continent. Based on our and previously published geochemical data, the mafic rocks in the YZSZ mélanges are ocean island basalt (OIB)-like, with ages in the Late Permian-Middle Triassic, the Middle-Late Jurassic, and the Early Cretaceous, respectively. An OIB-like block with an age of ca. 253 Ma is identified from the Zhongba mélanges in the western segment, and it is the oldest OIB lithology yet identified in the YZSZ mélanges related to the evolution of the Neo-Tethys Ocean. Geochemical features indicate that this OIB-like block is distinct from typical OIBs and would be formed during continental rifting to incipient seafloor spreading. In the framework of plate divergent-convergent coupling systems and based on literature data for early Middle Triassic seamounts, radiolarian cherts, and normal mid-ocean ridge basalt-like oceanic crust, we conclude that opening of the Yarlung Zangbo Neo-Tethys Ocean would mainly occur at ~250–243 Ma in the Early Triassic, not later than the early phase of Middle Triassic. In addition, a mantle plume was not involved in opening the Yarlung Zangbo Neo-Tethys Ocean. On the other hand, we have also identified a suite of ca. 160 Ma OIB-like basaltic sills from the Bainang mélanges in the eastern segment, which is the same age as the OIB lithologies previously reported in the Zhongba mélanges. Based on the sill-like occurrence and absence of plume-related rock associations in this region, the Bainang OIB-like rocks might result from Middle-Late Jurassic continental rifting in northern Gondwana. Magmatism related to this tectonic event is preserved in both the YZSZ mélanges and Himalayan strata, but its tectonic significance requires further investigation. Based on this study of the YZSZ mélanges and the previous studies of YZSZ ophiolites, Gangdese belt igneous rocks, and sedimentary rocks, we have reconstru
