Tectonic architecture and multiple orogeny of the Qinling Orogenic Belt, Central China
TL;DR: The Qinling Orogenic Belt (QOB) as mentioned in this paper is a composite orogenic belt that witnessed four major episodes of accretion and collision between discrete continental blocks, such as the North China Block, North Qinling Block and the South China Block.

Reconstructing South China in Phanerozoic and Precambrian supercontinents
TL;DR: The history of the South China Craton and the constituent Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks are directly linked to Earth's Phanerozoic and Precambrian record of supercontinent assembly and dispersal.

Geochronology and geochemistry of igneous rocks from the Kongling terrane: Implications for Mesoarchean to Paleoproterozoic crustal evolution of the Yangtze Block
Longming Li,Longming Li,Longming Li,Shoufa Lin,Shoufa Lin,Donald W. Davis,Wenjiao Xiao,Guangfu Xing,Changqing Yin,Changqing Yin +9 more
TL;DR: The Kongling terrane is a high grade metamorphic complex, exposed in the northern part of the Yangtze Block, which mainly consists of TTG gneisses, amphibolites, migmatite, granite and diabase as discussed by the authors.

The continental crust: Its composition and evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the composition of the present upper crust and deal with possible compositions for the total crust and the inferred composition of lower crust, and the question of the uniformity of crustal composition throughout geological time is discussed.

The composition of the Earth
William F. McDonough,Shen-Su Sun +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the relative abundances of the refractory elements in carbonaceous, ordinary, and enstatite chondritic meteorites and found that the most consistent composition of the Earth's core is derived from the seismic profile and its interpretation, compared with primitive meteorites, and chemical and petrological models of peridotite-basalt melting relationships.
