По данным об эволюции расплавных аномалий в контексте орогенеза, рифтогенеза, движения и взаимодействия литосферных плит развита обобщающая модель глубинной динамики Азии, в которой важнейшую роль играли первичные Гобийская, Байкальская и Северо-Забайкальская расплавные аномалии переходного слоя и вторичные Хангайская, Саянская и Северо-Байкальская расплавные аномалии верхней мантии. Предполагается, что первичные расплавные аномалии формировались в начале новейшего геодинамического этапа (около 90 млн лет назад) в результате нарушения переходного слоя нижнемантийными потоками из-за лавинного обрушения слэбового материала, который стагнировал под закрывшимися фрагментами Солонкерского, Урало-Монгольского палеоокеанов и Монголо-Охотского залива Палеопацифика, а вторичные получили развитие в связи с процессами раннесреднемиоценовой структурной перестройки в зонах Тихоокеанско-Азиатского и Индо-Азиатского взаимодействия. Первичные расплавные аномалии служили в качестве главного фактора пространственного распределения усилий и процессов новейшего геодинамического этапа, а вторичные явились следствием движения литосферы относительно первичных аномалий и способствовали развитию орогенеза и рифтогенеза. Японско-Байкальский геодинамический коридор сдерживался латеральными зонами конвергентного взаимодействия Индостана и Азии на юго-западе и Северной Америки и Азии на северо-востоке. В латеральных зонах сдерживания позднефанерозойские палеослэбы и восходящие мантийные потоки были зафиксированы в переходном слое и верхней мантии без разрушения астеносферными потоками.

A comprehensive model for deep dynamics in Asia has been developed from the data on the evolution of melting anomalies in the context of lithospheric plate motions, interactions, orogeny, and rifting. The key components of our model are the primary (transition layer) and secondary (upper mantle) melting anomalies (Gobi, Baikal, and North Transbaikalia; and Hangay, Sayan, and Vitim, respectively). It is inferred that the primary melting anomalies originated at the beginning of the latest geodynamic stage (ca. 90 Ma) as a result of the transition layer distortion by lower mantle flows. Such primary anomalies were caused by avalanche collapses of the slab material that had been stagnated under the closed fragments of the Solonker, Ural-Mongolian paleooceans and the Mongol-Okhotsk Bay of Paleopacific. The secondary melting anomalies occurred due to the Early-Middle Miocene structural reorganization in the Pacific-Asian and Indo-Asian interaction zones. The primary melting anomalies governed the spatial distribution of forces and processes of the latest geodynamic stage. The secondary melting anomalies resulted from the lithospheric motions relative to the primary anomalies and provided for the development of orogeny and rifting. The Baikal-Mongolian corridor of asthenospheric flows was limited by the lateral zones of convergent interactions between India and Asia in the southwest, and North America and Asia in the northeast. In these lateral zones, Late Phanerozoic paleoslabs and ascending mantle fluxes were revealed in the transition layer, as well as in the upper mantle, without any destruction by the asthenospheric flows.
