Establishing how tectonic plates have moved since deep time is essential for understanding
how Earth's geodynamic system has evolved and operates, thus answering longstanding …

Archean cratons have map patterns and rock associations that are diagnostic of the Wilson
Cycle. The North China Craton (NCC) consists of several distinctly different tectonic units …

China contains three major Precambrian blocks, the North China, South China and Tarim
cratons, separated and sutured by Phanerozoic orogenic belts. The North China Craton …

Geological and geophysical data indicate that the Precambrian basement of the North China
Craton (NCC) formed by amalgamation of a number of micro-continental blocks. The …

The North China Craton (NCC) consists of Archean to Paleoproterozoic basement overlain
by Mesoproterozoic to Cenozoic cover. Minor Eoarchean to Mesoarchean basement rocks …

The crustal growth and stabilization of the North China Craton (NCC) relate to three major
geological events in the Precambrian:(1) a major phase of continental growth at ca. 2.7 …

The North China Craton (NCC) has experienced a complex geological evolution since the
early Precambrian, and carries important records of secular changes in tectonics and …

An evaluation of recent S-wave receiver functions, S-wave velocities and two versions of P-
wave tomographic images along various transects in the North China Craton provides some …

The location and tectonic nature of the Solonker Suture in East Asia and hence the late
Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic closure of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean have notoriously been …

The goal of this study is to evaluate the global age distribution of granitoid magmatism and
juvenile continental crust production with U/Pb isotopic ages from igneous and detrital …
