Tectonic Evolution of Southeast Asia

S. Warren Carey

Abstract

Three first-order elements combined to shape southeast Asia: the dextral Ninetyeast shear system, the Tethyan shear system, and general dispersion of the parts. Ultimately these three elements stem from a single cause — expansion of the rotating earth. Reversal of these three elements restores southest Asia to its early Mesozoic configuration (Fig. 8).
