TLDR
In this article, the authors show that there is not a single protracted event at the end of the Archaean lasting ∼60 million years, but that from east to west there are several separate events with their own unique character.About:

Precambrian geology of China
Guochun Zhao,Peter A. Cawood +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model for the origin of the 2.55-2.50-Ga metamorphic pulse in the North China Craton (NCC), which is interpreted as a major phase of juvenile crustal growth in the craton.

Lithotectonic elements of Precambrian basement in the North China Craton: Review and tectonic implications
Guochun Zhao,Mingguo Zhai +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduction to tectonics of China
TL;DR: In the last three decades, extensive geological, geochemical and geophysical investigations have been carried out on these cratonic blocks and intervening orogenic belts, producing an abundant amount of new data and competing interpretations.

Insights into the tectonic evolution of the North China Craton through comparative tectonic analysis: A record of outward growth of Precambrian continents
Timothy M. Kusky,Ali Polat,Ali Polat,Brian F. Windley,Brian F. Windley,Kevin Burke,John F. Dewey,William S.F. Kidd,S. Maruyama,S. Maruyama,Junpeng Wang,Hao Deng,Zhensheng Wang,Chaowen Wang,Dong Fu,Xiawen Li,Hongtao Peng +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an actualistic tectonic division and evolution of the North China Craton based on the Wilson Cycle and comparative analysis that uses a multi-disciplinary approach to define sutures, their ages, and the nature of the rocks between them, to determine their mode of formation and means of accretion or exhumation.

Zircon ages and geochemistry of late Neoarchean syenogranites in the North China Craton: A review
Yusheng Wan,Chunyan Dong,Dunyi Liu,Alfred Kröner,Conghui Yang,Wei Wang,Lilin Du,Hangqian Xie,Mingzhu Ma +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two phases of syenogranite magmatism are recognized based on geological relationships, degree of metamorphism, deformation and magmatic zircon ages.

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.

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.

An overview of adakite, tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG), and sanukitoid: relationships and some implications for crustal evolution
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of an extensive adakite geochemical database identifies two distinct compositional groups: high-SiO2 adakites (HSA) which represent subducted basaltic slab-melts that have reacted with peridotite during ascent through mantle wedge and low-Si O 2 adakitic mantle wedge.
