Archean cratons have map patterns and rock associations that are diagnostic of the Wilson
Cycle. The North China Craton (NCC) consists of several distinctly different tectonic units …

The North China Craton (NCC) consists of Archean to Paleoproterozoic basement overlain
by Mesoproterozoic to Cenozoic cover. Minor Eoarchean to Mesoarchean basement rocks …

China contains three major Precambrian blocks, the North China, South China and Tarim
cratons, separated and sutured by Phanerozoic orogenic belts. The North China Craton …

Geological and geophysical data indicate that the Precambrian basement of the North China
Craton (NCC) formed by amalgamation of a number of micro-continental blocks. The …

An evaluation of recent S-wave receiver functions, S-wave velocities and two versions of P-
wave tomographic images along various transects in the North China Craton provides some …

We synthesize more than 2600 Hf isotope data on the Archean-Paleoproterozoic zircons
from the North China Craton (NCC). Recalculation of the data based on single stage and …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

The Western Block of the North China Craton consists of the Yinshan Block in the north and
the Ordos Block in the south which were amalgamated along the east-west trending …

Cratonization is a key geological process to form stable continental masses with a
considerable scale. The Precambrian global cratonization and formation of supercratons in …

Columbia is a Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic supercontinent that was assembled during global
2.0–1.8 Ga collisional events, underwent long-lived, subduction-related accretion at key …
