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

Crust–mantle interaction and craton destruction: evidence from Late Mesozoic plutons in the North China Craton

Journal of the Geological Society, 2017
Late Mesozoic granitoids, widely distributed in the Yanshan Belt of the North China Craton (NCC), are important markers of cratonic destruction and lithospheric thinning. We report new petrological, geochemical, zircon U–Pb and Lu–Hf isotopic data on two late Mesozoic granitic plutons from the central NCC near the Trans-North China Orogen.

Ongoing craton destruction driven by pre-existing structures in the central North China Craton

It is significant to constrain the anisotropic crustal and lithospheric structures of the North China Craton (NCC) to understand the mechanisms of craton destruction. The NCC consists of the cratonic Ordos block, the Shanxi Rift, and the severely destructed eastern NCC.

Modification of the Shallow Mantle Lithosphere during Craton Destruction

A craton refers to the ancient and stable core of a continent, and craton destruction is typically characterized by significant lithospheric thinning, internal deformation, and volcanic activity. One of the key features of craton destruction is the loss of the ancient lithospheric keel, which many researchers believe results from large-scale ...

Destruction of the North China Craton due to hydration weakening

The North China Craton is an important example of extensive craton thinning and partial destruction. While the significant thinning of the eastern part of the craton is well-documented, the underlying mechanism driving this process remains a subject of considerable debate.
