This paper aims at exploring the tectonic characteristics of the South China Continent (SCC)
and extracting the universal tectonic rules from these characteristics, to help enrich the plate …

The configuration and kinematics of continental deformation and its marginal plate tectonics
on the Earth's surface are intrinsic manifestations of plate-mantle coupling. The complex …

The Phanerozoic tectonic regimes of the South China Block (SCB) hold a key to
understanding of its geodynamic evolution with respect to formation of numerous mineral …

The eastern North China Craton (NCC) west of the Pacific Ocean has a long history of rifting
from Early Cretaceous to the end of Paleogene when the craton experienced destruction …

We present a new model to explain one of the biggest tectonic problems of Earth Sciences
today, namely, how and why did the Archean sub-continental lithospheric mantle under the …

Abstract The Tan-Lu fault zone (TLFZ) along the East China continental margin (ECCM)
experienced a change from sinistral to normal faulting in the late Mesozoic. Thirty-four laser …

There have been lots of debates regarding tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins in the
North China block during the early Mesozoic. It has been widely held that the North China …

A Mesozoic foreland-basin complex formed along the northern Yangtze plate during
subduction of this plate under the Qinling–Dabieshan orogenic belt along the Mianlue …

The geologic framework of the Phanerozoic Qinling–Dabie orogen was built up through two
major suturing events of three blocks. From north to south these include the North China …

We integrated a systematic sedimentary data into a regional Early Mesozoic stratigraphic
framework which demonstrated a detailed picture of spatiotemporal variations in basin …
