The Mesozoic Yanshanian Movement affected the tectonic evolution of the North China Craton (NCC). It is proposed that Mesozoic cratonic destruction peaked ~125 Ma, possibly influenced by subduction of the western Pacific Plate beneath the Euro-Asian ...

Craton Destruction 1: Cratonic Keel Delamination Along a Weak Midlithospheric Discontinuity Layer [PDF]
AbstractCratons are generally observed to retain thick (>180 km) conductive keels for billions of years. However, some cratons have undergone keel removal, with well‐documented examples being the eastern North China Craton (NCC) and the Wyoming Craton (WC).

H-k stacking method is a standard receiver-function method to detect crustal thickness. But this method can not be applied in low-velocity sedimentary basins. To solve this problem, we propose an improved sequential H-k stacking method.

Microplate Tectonics Through Earth History and Across Solid Multispheres
The evolution of tectonic microplates throughout Earth´s history as well as the transitions between microplates across different solid spheres offers a novel approach to expanding the traditional plate tectonics theory. ABSTRACT The evolution of tectonic microplates throughout Earth's history as well as the transitions between microplates across ...

Destruction of Cratonic Lithosphere Induced by Oceanic Subduction Initiation
AbstractBased on the plate reconstruction which shows that most core parts of present cratons locate in the interior of the continents during the supercontinent cycles, we propose that the oceanic subduction initiation may trigger the destruction of marginal cratonic lithosphere.

How continental lithosphere stretches and ruptures is a fundamental question in Earth sciences; however, effective constraints on the physical conditions deep within the crust where deformation is concentrated remain elusive.
