On the destructive tendencies of cratons

Geology, 2020
AbstractWe propose that subducting slabs may cause lithospheric removal by directing mantle flow along the craton margin. This process could carve and shape the cratons, leading to conditions that impact the overall (in)stability of the lithosphere. We use three-dimensional geodynamic models to investigate how subduction-driven directed flow interacts ...

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.

Numerical modeling of metamorphic core complex formation: Implications for the destruction of the North China Craton

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2022
Widespread magmatism, metamorphic core complexes (MCCs), and significant lithospheric thinning occurred during the Mesozoic in the North China Craton (NCC).

Fluid Geochemistry within the North China Craton: Spatial Variation and Genesis

Geofluids, 2021
The North China Craton (NCC) is a typical representative of the ancient destruction craton. Numerous studies have shown that extensive destruction of the NCC occurred in the east, whereas the western part was only partially modified.

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.

Ongoing Lithospheric Alteration of the North China Craton Revealed by Surface‐Wave Tomography and Geodetic Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
The North China Craton (NCC) is renowned for cratonic reactivation and dramatic destruction. Detailed lithospheric structure is crucial for understanding the geological evolution and seismogenesis of the NCC.

Spatial heterogeneity of the lithospheric destruction of the North China Craton: Evidence from an extended magnetotelluric sounding profile

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
To study the spatial heterogeneity of the North China Craton (NCC) destruction, this paper used a magnetotelluric sounding (MT) profile that passes through almost the entire NCC from west to east.
