Precambrian Evolution of the North China Craton By: Zhao, Guochun Publisher: Elsevier (S&T) Print ISBN: 9780124072275, 0124072275 eText ISBN: 9780124076525 Pages: 204 Format: EPUB Available from $ 49.95 USD SKU: 9780124076525 The North China Craton is one of the oldest cratonic blocks in the world, containing rocks as old as 3.85 billion years. Focusing on Neoarchean mantle plumes and Paleoproterozoic plate tectonics, this book combines the results from modern geological research to provide you with a detailed synthesis of the geology, structure, and evolution of the North China Craton. It will be of value to anyone interested in the evolution of cratonic blocks and Precambrian geology as well as geoscientists interested in applying tectonic models to other cratonic blocks globally. This work will also be of interest to geologists concerned with the problems of structure and evolution of the Precambrian continents and supercontinents. The first book to apply mantle plume and plate tectonics models to understanding the Neoarchean accretion and Paleoproterozoic amalgamation of a craton Features more than 75 geologic maps, illustrations, diagrams, and microphotographs depicting the progressive stages of the North China Craton’s Precambrian evolution Authored by one of the world’s foremost experts in cratonic evolution and mantle plume and plate tectonic modeling SKU: 9780124072275 Ebooks here: https://ebookscoffee.sellpass.io/products/Precambrian-Evolution-of-the-North-China-Craton
