文摘The India-Asia collision and uplift of the Tibetan plateau are the most important geological events in Earth＇s history; it profoundly affects our understanding of global climate change during the Cenozoic. Despite a research history over half a century, the uplifting history remains hotly controversial. The early uplifting model suggested that the Lhasa terrane attained an elevation of 3-4 km at -99 Ma due to the Lhasa-Qiangtang collision. However, the evidences are mainly from deformation of the Lhasa terrane and inconsistency with the palaeontological data.
