Whether modern-style plate tectonics operated on early Earth is debated due to a paucity of definitive records large-scale convergence, subduction, and collision in the Archean geological record. Alpine-style sub-horizontal fold/thrust nappes Precambrian basement China contain Mariana-type subduction-initiation sequence mid-ocean ridge basalt blocks 1600-kilometer-long mélange belt, overthrusting picritic-boninitic island-arc tholeiite bearing nappes, turn emplaced over passive margin...
Significant changes in tectonic style and climate occurred from the late Archaean to early Proterozoic when continental growth emergence provided opportunities for photosynthetic life proliferate by initiation of Great Oxidation Event (GOE). In this study, we report a Neoarchaean passive-margin-type sequence (2560-2500 million years ago) Precambrian basement China that formed an accretionary orogen. Tectonostratigraphic detrital zircon analysis reveal thermal subsidence on backside recently...
Abstract Determining the composition, formation mechanisms, and stability of Hadean continental crust is essential for understanding early geologic history Earth. Detrital zircons, largely from Jack Hills Western Australia, provide dominant direct records nature during eon its processes. Although isotope trace element compositions these zircons are extensively determined, major their host rocks corresponding parental magmas remain in large debates, making evolution Earth's ambiguous. Here,...
The Tibetan Plateau, Earth's largest and highest plateau, boasts an extraordinarily thick continental crust (60-80 kilometers) average elevation exceeding 4000 meters. Unraveling the plateau's uplift history, vital for comprehending Cenozoic history its environmental impacts, has long been a subject of debate. While prior studies predominantly attribute formation to India-Asia collision, 45-59 million years ago, timing underlying mechanisms remain contentious. Airy isostasy as response...
