Hey everyone! I left the beautiful New Zeland and just arrived in Beijing, China! It's so cool here! Sadly I'm only here for a day while other flights of mine get situated but for now here is some info on plate tectonics and boundary lines here.
China is principally part of the Eurasian plate but the margins of the Indian and Philippine Sea plates are involved in the Himilayas and in the Coastal Range of Taiwan. Evidence has revealed large-scale subduction and tectonic exhumattion during the consolidation of the Eurasian plate. Cenozoic collision of the Eurasian and Indian Plates produced deformation and uplift of the Himilayas, strongly influencing the tectonics of western China.
