Early Continent Evolution of the North China Craton discusses the tectono-thermal regimes of the early continental crust in the North China Craton (NCC), from the Hadean to the early Paleoproterozoic, reconstructing the evolutional framework and facilitating comprehensive understanding of the early continent evolution of the NCC. The book systematically summarizes the Neoarchean metamorphism of the NCC and discusses the implications for the tectonic models of the NCC through compiling evolutional information of the Hadean to the early Paleoproterozoic sequences in the NCC. Researchers, academics, and students in geology (especially Precambrian Geology), geomorphology, geophysics, and geological engineering will benefit from using this book in applying tectonic models to other cratonic blocks globally, and will understand evolutional information of the largest and oldest cratonic block in China. Completely covers all key issues and research frontiers of the early continental evolution of the North China Craton (NCC), from the Hadean to the early PaleoproterozoicSystematically summarizes the Neoarchaean metamorphism of the NCC and discusses the implications for tectonic modelsIncludes discussion on controversial views on tectonic regimes of the NCC during the Archean to early Paleoproterozoic, with objective conclusions INDICE: 1.
