The Asian continent consists of many continental blocks that assembled during the
Phanerozoic, accompanied by widespread granitoids. By compiling a series of digital maps …

A Mesozoic Andean-type active continental margin is believed to have developed along the
Southeast China continental margin, which has been investigated in detail. However, the …

The Yanshan movement/orogeny has been proposed for 90 years, which is of special
significance in the history of geological research in China. This study conducted a review by …

Abstract In the Mesozoic, South China was situated along the convergent margin between
the Asian and Pacific plates, providing an excellent laboratory to understand the interactions …

Lithospheric extension plays a pivotal role in governing the evolution of continents and the
birth of oceanic basins on Earth. Despite this, quantifying wide-mode lithospheric extension …

Understanding the Mesozoic intraplate structural response of South China inboard of the
Paleo-Pacific-South China convergent margin is a key issue in unravelling the continental …

Abstract The Late Cretaceous is a significant geologic period in the South China Sea area,
as it marks the tectonic transition from the early Paleo-Pacific Plate subduction to the …

generally after the onset of plate tectonics. Late Triassic to Middle Jurassic geodynamics of …

Combining published age data and geological maps, we provide most updated information
about the spatio-temporal distributions of Mesozoic granitoids and volcanic rocks in SE …

Back-arc basins and the related subduction systems have been extensively studied,
however back-arc basins exhibiting episodic jumps of extension centers by the subduction …
