Initiation and evolution of the Shanxi Rift System in North China: Evidence from low‐temperature thermochronology in a plate reconstruction framework
Abstract The Shanxi Rift System (SRS) is a prominent intracontinental rift in eastern Eurasia.
However, its tectonic origin remains enigmatic, as the timing of rift initiation and its …

Tectonic controls on magmatic tempo in an active continental margin: Insights from the Early Cretaceous syn‐tectonic magmatism in the Changle‐Nan'ao Belt, South …
The cause of magmatic tempo in an active plate margin remains controversial, partly due to
lack of structural analysis. During 130–105 Ma, the magmatism in the South China Block …
