Description
This book focuses on the metallogeny and main tectonicevents of the North China Craton from early Precambrian to Phanerozoic. Itcovers the Archean crustal growth, Paleoproterozoicrifting-subduction-collision processes, Great Oxidation Event,Meso-Neoproterozoic multiple rifting, Phanerozoic reworking of the North ChinaCraton, as well as metallogeny related to above different processes. The NorthChina Craton is one of the oldest cratons in the world. It has experienced acomplex geological evolution since the early Precambrian, and carries importantrecords of secular changes in tectonics and metallogeny. It provides asystematic review and new results on the growth and evolution of the NorthChina Craton and metallogeny. It will be of broad interest to the earthscientists working in the fields ofeconomic geology, geochemistry, and tectonics of the North China Craton andeastern Asian.
