Tectonic Evolution of the Northern Taiwan
Mountain Belt
• Southwest-propagating arc-continent collision
• Westward extended Ryukyu subduction and caused flipping of subduction in the northern part of the collision orogen
• Lithospheric stretching induced by the trench suction
• Collision orogen collapsed as a result of crustal thinning

Conclusions
• Mountain-parallel anisotropy beyond the mantle wedge implies mantle deformation due to the collision tectonics
• Trench-parallel anisotropy exists in the mantle wedge beneath Northern Taiwan
• Significant spatial variation of anisotropy beneath ANPB indicates different origins of anisotropy – weak coupling between mantle wedge and continental lithosphere?
• Preserved upper mantle deformation /B-type olivine fabric/ Edge mantle flow/ melt preferred orientation
• Deployment of Broadband OBS is necessary to study the subduction process in the Taiwan region – ongoing!
