Abstract
Thrust fault zones around the Tibetan Plateau (TP) record the tectonic evolution between the Plateau and its surrounding terranes, which is helpful for understanding the uplift mechanism and deformational processes of the TP. The Longmenshan fault (LMSF) is the tectonic boundary (TB) between the Yangtze terrane (YT) and Songpan-Garze terrane (SGT), while the TB of its western segment, either the Lijiang-Xiaojinhe fault (LXF) or Jinhe-Qinghe fault (JQF), is controversial. Therefore, we conducted magnetotelluric (MT) imaging, surface structure surveys, and petrologic analysis to further determine the deep-shallow structural relationship of the western LMSF segment. Resistors R1 and R2 revealed by MT imaging may have originated from different magmatism. Among them, R2 may have originated from plume underplating, which is consistent with previous studies, while R1 may have originated from the residue of episodic mafic magma intrusion along the JQF over a broader period. Based on regional geophysics, surface structural patterns and petrologic mineralogy, it is suggested that the JQF may have deformed deep into the lower crust or upper mantle, accommodating the southeast expansion of the TP by thrusting and acting as the TB between the YT and SGT before -15 Ma. After -15 Ma, due to the activation of the large-scale strike-slip faults, the LXF gradually replaced the JQF to dominate the structural deformation of the western LMSF segment. Our results indicate that the above tectonic transition might be associated with the geodynamic process from centralized deformation to diffuse deformation within the southeast TP during the late Cenozoic.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
