Growth of continental crust in intra-oceanic and continental-margin arc systems: Analogs for Archean systems
Earth's continental crust has grown and been recycled throughout geologic history along
convergent plate margins. The main locus of continental crustal growth is in intra-oceanic …

Geochemical constraints on the nature of Late Archean basaltic-andesitic magmatism in the North China Craton
X Wang, WB Zhu, YF Zheng - Earth-Science Reviews, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract The North China Craton (NCC) is distinguished from the majority of Archean
cratons in the world by its extensive records of late Neoarchean (2.6–2.5 Ga) mafic …
