Main Tectonic Events and Metallogeny of the North China Craton

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of tectonic events and metallogeny in the North China Craton, highlighting its geological evolution and mineral formation processes.

The book Main Tectonic Events and Metallogeny of the North China Craton provides an in-depth exploration of the geological history and mineral formation processes associated with the North China Craton, tracing its evolution from the early Precambrian to the Phanerozoic era. It delves into critical events such as the Archean crustal growth, the Paleoproterozoic rifting, subduction, and collision processes, as well as the significant Great Oxidation Event. These events are pivotal in understanding the complex geological narrative of this ancient craton, which is one of the oldest in the world.

Additionally, the book covers the Meso-Neoproterozoic multiple rifting and the subsequent reworking of the North China Craton during the Phanerozoic. By examining these geological processes, the author presents a systematic review of the craton's evolution and the associated metallogeny, shedding light on how these events have shaped the current geological landscape. The detailed analysis and new findings contribute valuable insights into the secular changes in tectonics and metallogeny.

Main Tectonic Events and Metallogeny of the North China Craton is designed for earth scientists, especially those focused on economic geology, geochemistry, and tectonics in the region. Its comprehensive approach makes it a significant resource for understanding the intricate relationships between geological processes and mineral deposits in eastern Asia.
