Geological and geophysical evidence robustly supports the plate tectonics paradigm, specifically the India-Asia continental collision, as the primary mechanism driving the crustal thickening and uplift that formed the Tibetan Plateau.

Crustal thickening versus lateral expulsion in the Indian‐Asian continental collision
1993 · cited by 340
The paper demonstrates that crustal thickening in the Tibetan Plateau is a direct consequence of the continental collision between India and Asia.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently point to tectonic convergence, crustal shortening, and underthrusting driven by the India-Eurasia collision as the mechanisms responsible for the formation and evolution of the Tibetan Plateau. None of the papers refute this foundational geological consensus.

Cenozoic deformation of the Tarim plate and the implications for mountain building in the Tibetan Plateau and the Tian Shan
2002 · cited by 100
It connects mountain building in the Tibetan Plateau to Cenozoic deformation and tectonic loads from surrounding plate boundaries.
Shortening of analogue models of the continental lithosphere: New hypothesis for the formation of the Tibetan plateau
1994 · cited by 96
It presents analogue models showing how compression and lithospheric shortening explain the deep crustal structure and elevation of the Tibetan Plateau.
Decoding the southeastern Tibetan Plateau growth: a 3D numerical simulation of Cenozoic crustal deformation.
2026 · cited by 0
It models the southeastern Tibetan Plateau as an intracontinental deformation archetype driven by oblique Indian-Eurasian convergence.

2025 · cited by 0
It explains the uplift of broad mountains in the region through dominant north-south compression and the underthrusting of the Indian plate.
The Rapid Convergence of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate Resulted in the Fracture of Musandam Mountains Leading to the Formation of the Strait of Hormuz
2025 · cited by 0
It explicitly confirms that the northward trajectory and subsequent collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate resulted in the uplift of the Himalayan range and the formation of the Tibetan Plateau.
