The tectonic framework and tectono-thermal episodes of the North China Archean-Palaeoproterozoic granulite-facies province (GFP) and its correlation with the typical granulite terrains of the world

The tectonic analysis with regional geology of North China Craton (NCC) indicates that granulite facies province (GFP) located between northern marginal mobile belt (NMMB) and Archean craton represents the most important and largest Precambrian tectonic unit of NCC. GFP could be divided into two dis...

Description
Summary:The tectonic analysis with regional geology of North China Craton (NCC) indicates that granulite facies province (GFP) located between northern marginal mobile belt (NMMB) and Archean craton represents the most important and largest Precambrian tectonic unit of NCC. GFP could be divided into two distinct subprovinces: northern subprovince (NSP) and southern subprovince (SSP). It is difficult to outline tectonic setting and evolution of GFP by a single model. In contrast, GFP should be interpreted by a composite model. North China Craton can be well correlated with Baltic, Aldan and Anabar shields. Their similarity in tectonic evolution could be at least traced from the Neoarchean. Materials Science, Multidisciplinary Multidisciplinary Sciences SCI(E) 1 ARTICLE 5 587-596 8
