Destruction of the North China craton in the Mesozoic
The North China Craton (NCC) was originally formed by the amalgamation of the eastern
and western blocks along an orogenic belt at∼ 1.9 Ga. After cratonization, the NCC was …

Thinning and destruction of the cratonic lithosphere: A global perspective
It has been proposed that the North China Craton (NCC) was thinned up to a thickness of>
100 km during the Phanerozoic, and underwent an associated craton destruction. Evidently …

Electrical conductivity of orthopyroxene and plagioclase in the lower crust
The electrical conductivities of lower crustal orthopyroxene and plagioclase, as well as their
dependence on water content, were measured at 6–12 kbar and 300–1,000° C on both …

Origin and significance of spinel and garnet pyroxenites in the shallow lithospheric mantle: Ultramafic massifs in orogenic belts in Western Europe and NW Africa
H Downes - Lithos, 2007 - Elsevier
Anhydrous spinel and garnet pyroxenites form a small (< 10%) but integral part of the
shallow sub-continental lithospheric mantle. They occur as layers or dykes within …

An experimental study of pyroxenite partial melts at 1 and 1.5 GPa: Implications for the major-element composition of Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts
To better assess the potential role of pyroxenites in basalt generation at mid-ocean ridges,
we performed partial melting experiments on two natural websterites and one …

Effect of water on the electrical conductivity of lower crustal clinopyroxene
The electrical conductivity of lower crustal clinopyroxene was measured at 6–12 kbar, 250–

Subduction initiation at the Solomon back‐arc basin: Contributions from both island arc rheological strength and oceanic plateau collision
It is generally accepted that the subduction polarity reversal (SPR) results from the strong
collision of two plates. Yet, the SPR of the Solomon Back‐arc Basin is started in the “soft …
