Where is the North China–South China block boundary in eastern China? [PDF]

open access: yesGeology, 2001
The Qinling-Dabieshan belt results from the collision of the North China and South China blocks. The eastern extension of the belt (the Sulu area) consists of several stacked units: from top to bottom, these are (1) a weakly metamorphosed slate-sandstone unit of Neoproterozoic-Paleozoic age, (2) a gneiss-quartzite unit metamorphosed under high-pressure

The South China block-Indochina collision: Where, when, and how? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2014
This study uses new field observations and existing studies to shed new light on the origin and significance of two NW-SE striking orogens in NW and NE Vietnam. We conclude that the architecture of each belt is a stack of NE-directed nappes formed either under deep ductile synmetamorphic conditions, or under shallow depth in the SW and NE parts ...

Petrology and geochemical characteristics of amphibolite facies rocks in Xunyangba area, South Qinling Orogen, Central China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
As a tectonic block of the Qinling Orogenic Belt, Central China, the South Qinling Orogen is generally believed to have had a tight affinity with the Yangtze Block during the Precambrian.

Targeting the Opening of Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pores Potentiates Nanoparticle Drug Delivery and Mitigates Cancer Metastasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2021
Mitochondria are highly involved in the metastasis of cancer cells. However, low permeability of mitochondria impedes the entry of anti‐cancer drugs. Here, a self‐assembled nanoparticle platform is designed that not only targets the DNA‐intercalating ...

Present-Day Tectonic Stress Evolution in Southern Yunnan Based on Focal Mechanisms

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Tectonic extrusion bypassing the eastern Himalayan syntaxis results in a significant increase in regional stress instability and the associated frequent occurrence of earthquakes in southern Yunnan, China.

Seismic Evidence for a Geosuture between the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks, South China [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2013
AbstractSouth China, composed of the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks and the intervening Jiangnan orogenic belt, has been central to the debate on the tectonic evolution of East Asia. Here we investigate the crustal structure and composition of South China from seismic data employing theH-kstacking technique.

Blended learning for the “multi-track” undergraduate students in Ghana in an adverse era

open access: yesScientific African, 2023
The sudden emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a paradigm shift in the status quo of education. Institutions globally migrated from traditional face-to-face (F2F) learning to online learning to achieve the objectives of Sustainable Development Goal

The deformation and mechanisms of the Zhangbaling tectonic belt during Indosinian to early Yanshanian: Implications for the relationship with the Tan-Lu Fault Zone

open access: yesSolid Earth Sciences, 2021
The Zhangbaling tectonic belt is located in the middle segment of Dabie-Sulu Orogenic Belt and in the eastern part of the main segment of the Tan-Lu Fault Zone (TLFZ).

Contrasting seismicity between the north China and south China blocks: Kinematics and geodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2005
The north China block (NCB), part of the Sino‐Korean craton, is surprisingly one of the most active seismic regions in the world. The south China block (SCB), another major craton in East Asia, has been seismically quiescent. Using the updated GPS data and finite element modeling, we show that the kinematic boundary conditions are the primary cause of ...
