This belt consists of metamorphic rocks in blueschist, greenschist, and amphibolite facies and an ophiolitic, dynamometa-morphic melange. The metamorphic rocks represent deformed and metamorphosed oceanic crust and upper mantle, whereas the melange rocks originated in diverse environments in abyssal plain, trench, arc-trench–gap, and forearc environments. The evolution of these assemblages is interpreted as a product of subduction, probably associated with the closure of the Tethys. Subduction-related deformation and meta-morphism terminated diachronously from pre–Late Triassic in the west to pre–late Liassic in the east, probably as a result of the diachronous closure of the Tethys.
