Craton Destruction Induced by Drastic Drops in Lithospheric Mantle Viscosity

Earth and Space Science, 2022
The disruption of the mantle roots of cratons is common after cratonization. Craton destruction, which is characterized by severe lithospheric thinning, extensive thrust and extensional deformation, basin filling, and intense thermal activities, is ...

Vestiges of underplating and assembly in the central North China Craton based on S-wave velocities [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
The destruction of the North China Craton (NCC) is a controversial topic among researchers. In particular, the crustal structure associated with the craton’s destruction remains unclear, even though a large number of seismic studies have been carried out

Mesozoic magmatic evolution of the Laiyuan complex: Tracing the crust-mantle and lithosphere-asthenosphere interactions in the central North China Craton

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Laiyuan complex in the central North China Craton (NCC) incorporating different magmatic suites offers an excellent opportunity to investigate the lithospheric evolution and cratonic destruction. However, the petrogenesis and tectonic implications of

Regional gravity field distribution over cratonic domains of the Indian shield: Implications for lithospheric evolution and destruction

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
The nature of crust and lithospheric mantle evolution of the Archean shields and their subsequent destruction through intraplate tectonic processes are important in understanding continental dynamics and resources.

Metasomatized lithospheric mantle for Mesozoic giant gold deposits in the North China craton [PDF]

, 2020
The origin of giant lode gold deposits of Mesozoic age in the North China craton (NCC) is enigmatic because high-grade metamorphic ancient crust would be highly depleted in gold.

Constraints on the lithospheric structure and tectonics of Archean Dharwar Craton, southern India from geophysical and geological data: Evidence for modified lithosphere

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
Cratons are the stable portions of the continents for at least the past two billion years. Their longevity is generally attributed to their thick, cold, rheologically strong and chemically depleted subcrustal mantle lithosphere.
