Thermal regime of the North China Craton: Implications for craton destruction

Earth-Science Reviews, 2015
Abstract 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.

Accretion and reworking beneath the North China Craton

Lithos, 2012
Abstract How has the Earth's continental lithosphere evolved? Most of our knowledge is derived from surface exposures, but xenoliths carried in volcanic rocks can be an important source of information. The North China Craton (NCC) is one of the oldest in the world and Phanerozoic volcanic rocks with abundant xenoliths are widespread, making it an ...

∼2.7Ga crust growth in the North China craton

Precambrian Research, 2010
Abstract Numerous U–Pb zircon geochronological data show that rocks of the Precambrian basement from the North China craton (NCC) have two age peaks at 1.8–1.9 and ∼2.5 Ga, respectively. Whether the most prominent peak at ∼2.5 Ga really registered a period of major crustal growth in the NCC thus making it different from the global major crustal ...

Precambrian tectonic evolution of the North China Craton

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2004
Abstract The North China Craton (NCC) is a major Archaean craton, covering an area of c. 300 000 km 2 in north and northeast China. Almost all Archaean rocks on the craton experienced high-grade metamorphism and strong migmatization, so that the preserved greenstone belts underwent ...

The Late Paleoproterozoic Orogeny in the North China Craton

Gondwana Research, 2002
Abstract Granulite TTG and khondalite formations are the two typical types of Precambrian metamorphic basement in the North China Craton. The former belongs to the basement of the Archean craton, while the latter is a Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rock series.

Disintegration, Faulting and Seismogenesis of the North China Craton

Seismological Research Letters, 1988
Abstract The North China Craton (NCC) began to disintegrate completely in the Yanshan Movement period (Jurassic-Cretaceous) forming a great number of NE, NEN, NW and WNW trending faults. Such fault systems have played an important role in the development of tectonics and seismicity in the Craton area.

An overview of diamond exploration in the North China Craton

2005
China’s history of diamond exploration and production extends over 40 years, initially concentrating on the discovery of alluvial deposits and later the kimberlitic sources. Diamond production from China currently totals 90,000 carats/annum from one kimberlite diamond mine, namely China Diamond Corp.’s 701 Changma Mine in Shandong Province that has ...
