AB - [The Karakoram/Kohistan/India collision zone provides a rare opportunity to study the roles of subduction and tectonic accretion in crustal growth processes. Magmatic histories and the timing of major tectonic events in this region become acceptably well understood. Creation of crustal material was accomplished by juvenile supra-subduction magmatism that produced, within the Tethys Ocean, the Kohistan island arc from Jurassic to Oligocene times (ca 150–40 Ma). Inversion of within-arc and backarc basins added volcanic and sedimentary rocks into the new crust. Forearc sequences are almost lacking, which suggests that this part of the hanging-wall lithosphere has been consumed in the subduction. Obduction of the Kohistan arc onto the Indian continent lasted 10–15 Ma, between ca 60 and 45 Ma, before collisional orogeny started at the expenses of continental India. That was a relatively short event compared to protracted accretion of Kohistan to Asia, between ca 100 and 30 Ma.]
