Yanhui Suo,Yanhui Suo,Sanzhong Li,Sanzhong Li,Shujuan Zhao,Shujuan Zhao,Ian D. Somerville,Shan Yu,Shan Yu,Liming Dai,Liming Dai,L. Q. Xu,L. Q. Xu,Xianzhi Cao,Xianzhi Cao,Pengcheng Wang,Pengcheng Wang +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the East China Sea Shelf Basin (ECSSB) and the Okinawa Trough (OT) have been shown to have a double-layer architecture with an upper half-graben overlapping on a lower graben.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Meso-Neoproterozoic plate reconstruction and formation mechanism for Precambrian basins: Constraints from three cratons in China
Sanzhong Li,Xiyao Li,Guangzeng Wang,Yiming Liu,Zecheng Wang,Tongshan Wang,Xianzhi Cao,Xiaoyu Guo,Ian D. Somerville,Yang Li,Jie Zhou,Liming Dai,Suhua Jiang,Hao Zhao,Yu Wang,Gang Wang,Shan Yu +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation mechanisms and tectonic settings of these rift basins as the targets of deep Earth are discussed, based on the restoration of global positions of the three cratons by pre-existing paleomagnetic data and plate reconstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sanzhong Li,Yanhui Suo,Xiyao Li,Bo Liu,Liming Dai,Guangzeng Wang,Jie Zhou,Yang Li,Yiming Liu,Xianzhi Cao,Ian D. Somerville,Dunling Mu,Shujuan Zhao,Jinping Liu,Fan Meng,Libing Zhen,Lintao Zhao,Junjiang Zhu,Shengyao Yu,Yongjiang Liu,Guowei Zhang +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the micro-blocks in the global oceans have been summarized according to the following five environments: mid-ocean ridge system, subduction system, transform fault system, deep-sea intraplate system and extension-rift system.
