Description
The Precambrian Evolution of the North China Craton provides a detailed synthesis of the geology, structure, and evolution of one of the world's oldest cratonic blocks. Focusing on Neoarchean mantle plumes and Paleoproterozoic plate tectonics, this book combines modern geological research to shed light on the Precambrian evolution of the North China Craton. The work features over 75 geologic maps, illustrations, diagrams, and microphotographs depicting the progressive stages of the craton's evolution. Authored by a leading expert in cratonic evolution and mantle plume modeling, this book is valuable for anyone interested in the evolution of cratonic blocks and Precambrian geology. This comprehensive study will be of interest to geoscientists seeking to apply tectonic models to other cratonic blocks globally, as well as those concerned with the structure and evolution of Precambrian continents and supercontinents.
