Abstract The North China Craton (NCC) has been thinned from> 200 km to< 100 km in its
eastern part. The ancient subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) has been replaced by …

Hydrous melting driven by changes in H2O storage capacity may occur in a variety of
settings in the mantle, including in oceanic basalt sources and in deeper regions above and …

Geological pathways for the recycling of Earth's surface materials into the mantle are both
driven and obscured by plate tectonics,–. Gauging the extent of this recycling is difficult …

We determined P-wave tomography of the crust and upper mantle under the Changbai
volcanic area in Northeast Asia by using 289,318 arrival-time data from 4802 local …

Early in terrestrial planet evolution energetic impact, radiodecay, and core formation may
have created one or more whole or partial silicate mantle magma oceans. The time to …

We present a new model to explain one of the biggest tectonic problems of Earth Sciences
today, namely, how and why did the Archean sub-continental lithospheric mantle under the …

Minerals included in diamonds provide direct information about the petrologic and chemical
environment of diamond crystallization. They record information relating to local and …

This study presents an integrated study of the North China Craton (NCC) based on recent
high-resolution seismic images combined with observations on surface geology, regional …

A stagnant slab is a subducted slab of oceanic lithosphere subhorizontally deflected above,
across, or below the 660 km discontinuity. This phenomenon has now been widely …

The mantle transition zone, located at depths of 410–660 km between the lower and upper
mantle, is an important water reservoir in the Earth's interior,,,. However, there are regional …
