The North China Craton is one of the oldest cratonic blocks in
the world, containing rocks as old as 3.85 billion years. Focusing
on Neoarchean mantle plumes and Paleoproterozoic plate tectonics,
this book combines the results from modern geological research to
provide you with a detailed synthesis of the geology, structure,
and evolution of the North China Craton. It will be of value to
anyone interested in the evolution of cratonic blocks and
Precambrian geology as well as geoscientists interested in applying
tectonic models to other cratonic blocks globally. This work will
also be of interest to geologists concerned with the problems of
structure and evolution of the Precambrian continents and
supercontinents.
The first book to apply mantle plume and plate tectonics models to
understanding the Neoarchean accretion and Paleoproterozoic
amalgamation of a craton Features more than 75 geologic maps,
illustrations, diagrams, and microphotographs depicting the
progressive stages of the North China Craton s Precambrian
evolutionAuthored by one of the world s foremost experts in
cratonic evolution and mantle plume and plate tectonic modeling
