伴随着印度板块对欧亚板块南缘的碰撞、挤压，青藏高原地壳及下伏地幔岩石圈的厚度增加了１倍。增厚岩石圈热结构的变化可导致高原海拨下降约１５００ｍ。其对流剥离并被较热的软流圈物质替代可用以解释青藏高原自８百万年或３百万年前开始的快速隆升。大陆岩石圈的增厚及热结构变化和对流剥离可能是青藏高原自９百万年前开始的夷平—快速隆升过程的主导控制因素。
With the collision and compression of the Indian plate to the southern margin of the Eurasian plate, the thickness of the lithosphere in the crust and the underlying mantle of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has doubled. Thickening lithospheric thermal structure changes can lead to a plateau altitude dropped about 1500m. Its convective detachment and replacement with hotter asthenospheric material can explain the rapid uplift of the Tibetan Plateau since 8 million years ago or 3 million years ago. The thickening of the continental lithosphere and the change of thermal structure and convective detachment may be the dominant controlling factors for the raveling-rapid uplift of the Tibetan Plateau since 9 million years ago.
