摘要
Asia is the largest continent on Earth and records a prolonged history of continental growth and tectonic reactivation during the Phanerozoic. Several tectonic forces at the continental palaeomargins induced mountain building, both at the margins themselves （e.g. the Himalayas） and into the continental interior （e.g. the Tianshan）.
