A suggested model for Early Cambrian magmatism in the west Kunlun orogenic belt. (A) The Proto-Tethys Ocean subducted southward beneath the southern Kunlun terrane and Tianshuihai terrane as early as the Early Cambrian (&gt;533 Ma), forming an Early Cambrian magmatic arc in the Tianshuihai terrane. Slab roll-back induces arc retreat and crustal extension and leads to northeastward migration of magmatism. (B) In the late Early Cambrian subduction reverts from high angles to normal or low angles, causing subduction advance and crustal thickening. The partial melting of the thickened lower crust forms the adakitic diorites in the southern Kunlun terrane.

Cartoons showing the tectonic evolution of the East Kunlun Orogen (EKO). (A) 850–820 Ma: the mantle plume caused the large-scale breakup of Rodinia and the formation of basaltic protoliths (adapted from Xu et al., 2016a). (B) 545 (?)–443 Ma: subduction of the Proto-Tethys Ocean occurred between the Central Kunlun Terrane (CKT) and Southern Kunlun Terrane (SKT) in the East Kunlun Orogen. (C) 443–422 Ma: continental crust, including Neoproterozoic mafic rocks, subducted along with the oceanic slab, and Neoproterozoic mafic rocks experienced eclogite-facies metamorphism. (D) 422–413 Ma: due to the break-off of subducting continental slab, eclogites were exhumed, and asthenospheric mantle was raised. (E) 413–390 Ma: the asthenospheric mantle was rising continuously, and the mafic–ultramafic rocks formed had a close spatio-temporal relationship with eclogites.
