Thermal Regime of the North China Craton: Implications for Craton Destruction
Earth-Science Reviews, 2015Abstract This paper presents an overview of the thermal studies dealing with heat flow data, lithospheric thermal thickness, basin thermal history, and thermal modeling in the North China Craton (NCC), with aim to provide ideas for geodynamical mechanism on the NCC destruction.

Timing, Scale and Mechanism of the Destruction of the North China Craton
Science China Earth Sciences, 2011The North China Craton (NCC) is a classical example of ancient destroyed cratons. Since the initiation of the North China Craton Destruction Project by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, numerous studies have been conducted on the timing, scale, and mechanism of this destruction through combined interdisciplinary research.

Delamination and destruction of the North China Craton
Science Bulletin, 2009This article presents an overview on recent developments in studies of chemical and physical processes of lithospheric delamination with respect to destruction of the North China Craton. It is emphasized that the pyroxenite source resulting from interaction between eclogite-derived melt and peridotite is a direct consequence of delamination.

Catastrophic craton destruction via wholesale lithosphere delamination
Geology, 2023Abstract The nuclei of continents, manifested as cratons, are the most long-lived parts of Earth’s lithosphere. However, ancient cratons in some areas can be substantially destroyed through mechanisms that are not fully understood. We used experimentally calibrated geobarometers to calculate the equilibrium pressures of mafic magmas in ...

Differential Destruction of the North China Craton: A Tectonic Perspective
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2013Abstract The North China Craton (NCC) provides one of the classic examples of craton destruction, although the mechanisms and processes of its decratonization are yet to be fully understood. Here we integrate petrological, geochemical, geochronological and geophysical information from the NCC and conclude that the destruction of the craton involved ...

Thinning and destruction of the cratonic lithosphere: A global perspective
Science China Earth Sciences, 2014It has been proposed that the North China Craton (NCC) was thinned up to a thickness of >100 km during the Phanerozoic, and underwent an associated craton destruction. Evidently, it is an important topic worthy of future study to understanding the mechanism of cratonic destruction and its role played in the continental evolution.

On the timing and duration of the destruction of the North China Craton
Science Bulletin, 2009The timing and duration of the destruction of the North China Craton, which is pivotal to understanding the destruction mechanism and its geodynamic controlling factors, still remain controversial. On the basis of the principles of magma genesis and evolution, first we outline magmatic expressions that can be related to cratonic destruction, then use ...

Craton Destruction 2: Evolution of Cratonic Lithosphere After a Rapid Keel Delamination Event
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018AbstractCratonic lithosphere beneath the eastern North China Craton has undergone extensive destruction since early Jurassic times (approximately 190 Ma). This is recorded in its episodic tectonic and magmatic history. In this time, its lithosphere changed thickness from approximately 200 km to <60 km.
