High water content in Mesozoic primitive basalts of the North China Craton and implications on the destruction of cratonic mantle lithosphere

QK **a, J Liu, SC Liu, I Kovacs, M Feng… - Earth and Planetary …, 2013 - Elsevier
It has been suggested that the longevity of cratons (ie ancient and stable cores of continents)
is related in part to the low water content of their deep mantle roots; this gives them a higher …
