We tested the accuracy of trace element discrimination diagrams for basalts using new
datasets from two petrological databases, PetDB and GEOROC. Both binary and ternary …

Mineral deposits are typically tied to plate margin processes, such as accretion or rifting.
However, some major deposits occur in plate interiors, eg, deposits in the southern Great …

Flood basalts, the largest volcanic events in Earth history, are thought to drive global
environmental change because they can emit large volumes of CO2 and SO2 over short …

Volcanism that occurs far from plate margins is difficult to explain with the current paradigm
of plate tectonics. The Changbaishan volcanic complex, located on the border between …

Abstract The Circum-Pacific subduction zone is a famous gold metallogenic domain in the
world, with two important gold metallogenic provinces, the North China Craton and Nevada …

The geodynamic significance of continental volcanoes located far from the plate boundaries
remains highly controversial as exemplified by contrasting models that favor either a deep …

A high‐resolution tomographic model of the upper mantle beneath the North China Craton
(NCC) is determined using a large number of precisely hand‐picked teleseismic P wave …

The rapid development of provincial seismic networks and portable seismic arrays has
provided a good opportunity to image the detailed 3-D seismic structure of the upper mantle …

The Yellowstone hotspot, located in North America, is an intraplate source of magmatism the
cause of which is hotly debated. Some argue that a deep mantle plume sourced at the base …

Continental collision has been extensively investigated with 2-D numerical models
assuming infinitely wide plates or insignificant along-strike deformation in the third …
