Presence of an intralithospheric discontinuity in the central and western North China Craton: Implications for destruction of the craton

Geology, 2014
Detailed knowledge of lithospheric structure is essential for understanding the long-term evolution and dynamics of continents. We present an image of lithospheric structure across the central and western North China Craton (NCC), derived using S and P receiver functions from a dense seismic array. A negative velocity discontinuity is identified at ∼80–

Numerical modeling of north china craton Thinning and destruction.

2023
 The North China Craton is located on the Eurasian continental margin. Since the Mesozoic, the Izanagi and Pacific plates are subducting westward with the trench retreating eastward over time. This process is accompanied by extensive magmatism, development of rift basins, and the formation of the Japan sea.

Destruction of the North China Craton Induced by Ridge Subductions

The Journal of Geology, 2013
AbstractThe destruction of the North China Craton (NCC) mainly occurred in the Cretaceous and has been attributed to a “top-down” rapid delamination, “bottom-up” long-term thermal/chemical erosions, or hydration by subduction-released fluids. On the basis of the distribution of one Jurassic and two Early Cretaceous adakite belts and the drifting ...

Destruction of the Wyoming craton: Seismic evidence and geodynamic processes

Geology, 2016
Abstract Cratons are old and strong continental cores where the lithosphere is thick and remains largely undeformed for 2–3 b.y. Unlike typical cratons, the Wyoming craton underwent pervasive deformation ca. 80–55 Ma during the Laramide orogeny in the west-central United States, and has been subsequently encroached upon by the ...

Experimental constraints on the destruction mechanism of the North China Craton

Lithos, 2012
Abstract Craton destruction is a complex process involving both chemical and physical interactions between the crust and the mantle. Several mechanisms, including thermo-chemical erosion, delamination, lithosphere extension and subducting slab dehydration, have been proposed to explain the destruction of the North China Craton (NCC).

Indication from finite-frequency tomography beneath the North China Craton: The heterogeneity of craton destruction

Science China Earth Sciences, 2018
We picked new traveltime residual datasets in three frequency bands (0.02–0.1, 0.1–0.8, and 0.8–2.0 Hz) for P-waves from 793 teleseismic events and two frequency bands (0.02–0.1 and 0.1–0.8 Hz) for S-waves from 310 teleseismic events, recorded by 389 permanent stations of the China National Seismic Network and 832 broadband stations of 10 temporary

Petrogenesis of Early Cretaceous basaltic lavas from the North China Craton: Implications for cratonic destruction

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2017
AbstractThe North China Craton (NCC) is believed to be the best example of cratonic destruction. However, the processes leading to cratonic destruction remain unclear, largely due to a lack of knowledge of the nature of the Mesozoic NCC lithospheric mantle.

Episodic widespread magma underplating beneath the North China Craton in the Phanerozoic: Implications for craton destruction

Gondwana Research, 2013
Abstract A comprehensive synthesis of U–Pb geochronology and Hf isotopes of zircons from granulite/pyroxenite xenoliths entrained in Phanerozoic magmatic rocks and inherited xenocrysts from the associated lower crust rocks from various domains of the North China Craton (NCC) provides new insights into understanding the Phanerozoic evolution of the ...

Early Mesozoic alkaline complexes in the northern North China Craton: Implications for cratonic lithospheric destruction

Lithos, 2012
Abstract Early Mesozoic alkaline intrusive complexes are widespread in the northern North China Craton (NCC) and constitute an E–W trending alkaline magmatic belt that is more than 1500 km long along the northern Sino–Korean Craton. Our new zircon and baddeleyite U–Pb dating results of the Yongfucun, Yaojiazhuang and Sungezhuang alkaline complexes ...

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

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2013
Abstract It has been suggested that the longevity of cratons (i.e. 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 viscosity than the underlying asthenosphere. Consequently, the removal of cratonic roots is expected to be closely connected to the hydration of the
