    • To reveal the tectonic evolution of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis and its surrounding areas, in this paper it reports 10 40Ar/39Ar ages of biotite from Motuo Section of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. It quantitatively interprets the rock's uplift and exhumation rates represented by these ages, using a modeling code "Pecube". Biotite 40Ar/39Ar ages in this paper are in the range of 11.25-24.04 Ma. Corresponding exhumation rates are in the range of 0.25-0.51 km/Ma. The rock exhumation rates in Motuo Section of the Yarlung Tsangpo River have obvious differences between northern and southern, which is characterized by the northern exhumation rates about 0.2 km/Ma higher than the southern. The ages and simulation results show that relative to the inside of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, the exhumation rates in Motuo Section of the Yarlung Tsangpo River are lower. And the NW/NWW-trending thrust fault zones which were resulted by the collision between Himalayan terrane and Lhasa terrane, not only located in the inside of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, but also probably located in Motuo Section of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
