TL;DR: The crustal growth and stabilization of the North China Craton (NCC) relate to three major geological events in the Precambrian: (1) a major phase of continental growth at ca. 2.9-2.7 Ga, (2) the amalgamation of micro-blocks and cratonization at 2.5-3.5 Ga, and (3) Paleoproterozoic rifting-subduction-accretion-collision tectonics and subsequent high-grade granulite facies metamorphism-granitoid mag

TL;DR: A supercontinent, here named Columbia, may have contained nearly all of the earth's continental blocks at some time between 1.9 Ga and 1.5 Ga.
1,192 citations
TL;DR: This paper reviewed and reevaluated these hypotheses in light of new data from Tibet including the distribution of major tectonic boundaries and suture zones, basement rocks and their sedimentary covers, magmatic suites, and detrital zircon constraints from Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks.
964 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, an up-to-date along-strike synthesis of the Tianshan orogenic collage and a new tectonic model to explain its accretionary evolution is provided.
837 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the 2.6-2.5 Ga basement rocks in the eastern and western parts of the NCC formed under different tectonic settings from those in the central part, consistent with subduction and continent-continent collisional belts.
