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 The ancient subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) has been replaced by …

Continental magmatic arcs form above subduction zones where the upper plate is
continental lithosphere and/or accreted transitional lithosphere. The best-studied examples …

We present global and regional correlations between whole-rock values of Sr/Y and La/Yb
and crustal thickness for intermediate rocks from modern subduction-related magmatic arcs …

One popular view of Venus' climate history describes a world that has spent much of its life
with surface liquid water, plate tectonics, and a stable temperate climate. Part of the basis for …

Global data for measured Fe 2 O 3/FeO ratios and Cu contents in unaltered volcanic and
intrusive arc rocks indicate that, on average, they are slightly more oxidized than other …

Granitoids are a major component of the continental crust. They play a pivotal role in its
evolution, either by adding new material (continental growth), or by reworking older …

Abstract The ca. 126–120 Ma Au deposits of the Jiaodong Peninsula, eastern China, define
the country's largest gold province with an overall endowment estimated as> 3000 t Au. The …

The water cycle at subduction zones remains poorly understood, although subduction is the
only mechanism for water transport deep into Earth. Previous estimates of water flux,–exhibit …

Continental arcs are the sites of production of continental crust, but the origin of these
magmatic systems is not well understood. Although a number of processes have been …

Most magmatism on Earth forms by direct melting of the mantle, generating basalts at the
low silica end of the terrestrial compositional spectrum. However, most subduction zone …
