East Asia is a region of complex crustal evolution and is composed of Precambrian cratons (Santosh, 2010; Zhai and Santosh, 2011) and three major Phanerozoic tectonic domains: the Paleo-Asian Ocean Tectonic Domain, the Western Pacific Tectonic Domain and the Tethys Tectonic Domain. The interaction between the three domains resulted in complicated topographic features, deep-geophysical signatures, and geochemical records. No place on Earth displays more diverse and complex patterns of active and ancient deformation as recorded in the geologic and tectonic evolution of Asia (Yin, 2010). Understanding the geometry and kinematics of this complex tectonic system has profound implications for deciphering the mechanisms and processes of continental formation, deformation and evolution, as well as the feedback processes between lithospheric deformation and atmospheric circulation.
