Crustal structure beneath the central and western North China from receiver function analysis

Earthquake Science, 2022
The North China Craton (NCC) is one of the oldest cratons on earth. Several important tectonic transformations of Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic regime led to the destruction of the North China craton. The knowledge of crustal structure can provide important

Jurassic contractional deformation in the central–western North China Craton in response to multi-plate convergence in the East Asia

Geosystems and Geoenvironment
The Jurassic multi-plate convergence in East Asia led to the intra-continental deformation in the North China Craton (NCC). However, much controversy is highlighted in the intra-continental deformation style and timing, and unanimous kinematics.

Palaeoproterozoic assembly of the North China Craton

Geological Magazine, 2001
The basement of the North China Craton consists of the Eastern and Western blocks, separated by the Central Zone. Both the Eastern and Western blocks are dominated by late Archaean tonalitic–trondhjemitic–granodioritic gneiss complexes interdigitated with minor supracrustal rocks metamorphosed at ~2.5 Ga, with anticlockwise P–T paths.

Mesoproterozoic post-orogenic magmatism on the southwestern North China Craton: onset of Columbia breakup

Frontiers in Earth Science
IntroductionThe North China Craton experienced multiple episodes of Mesoproterozoic anorogenic magmatism, which provides critical insights into the breakup process of the Columbia supercontinent.

Coeval granitic magmatism in the southern segment of the Liupanshan at the SW margin of the NCC: Implications for Paleoproterozoic extension

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2017
The ages of the Shizuizi, Baojiashan and Duanjiaxia granites are poorly constrained. They are exposed along the southern segment of the Liupanshan fault system at the southwestern margin of the North China Craton. They form a NW-trending belt of coeval A-

NEW LATE JURASSIC PALEOMAGNETIC RESULTS FROM SHARILYN FORMATION, SOUTHERN MONGOLIA, AMURIA BLOCK, AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR THE TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE MONGOL–OKHOTSK SUTURE

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017
The Amuria block occupies the eastern part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt between the Siberia craton and the North China block (NCB) and bears important information to understand the evolution of the MongolOkhotsk suture and the amalgamation of East ...

Differential Craton Destruction Controlled by Fossil Structures in the Central North China Craton

Geophysical Research Letters
Craton evolution plays a fundamental role in stabilizing the continental lithosphere and the long‐term evolution of Earth's surface environment. The Shanxi Rift Zone (SRZ) within the North China Craton marks an ongoing craton destruction.

Structure of the Sediment and Crust in the Northeast North China Craton from Improved Sequential H-k Stacking Method

Open Geosciences, 2019
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.

Tracing Continental Basalt Sources and Mantle Processes Using Fe Stable Isotopes

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Iron (Fe) isotopes have emerged as powerful tracers of mantle source heterogeneity and melting processes, yet the mechanisms producing heavy Fe isotope signatures (high δ57Fe values) in intraplate basalts remain debated. Competing interpretations include partial melting of recycled pyroxenite domains versus carbonate‐induced oxidation of a ...

Two Distinct Growth Styles of Riedel Shear Zones in Cratonic Strike‐Slip Fault System, Tarim Basin, NW China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The kinematics and progressive evolution of Riedel shear zones have been extensively studied, yet the factors controlling their distinct evolutionary styles in natural settings remain debated. Understanding such fracture network architecture has great implications, such as predicting subsurface fluid flow and assessing seismic hazards.
