What may drive the India-Asia convergence has been puzzling and has in fact puzzled many.According to the theory of plate tectonics and the concept of Wilson Cycle,continental collision means the loss of seafloor subd...

In studying the petrogenesis of intra-plate ocean island basalts(OIB) associated with hotspots or mantle plumes, we hypothesized that the two large-low-shear-wave-velocity provinces(LLSVPs) at the base of the mantle b...

The great mantle plume debate(GPD) has been going on for ~15 years(Foulger and Natland, 2003;Anderson, 2004; Niu, 2005; Davies, 2005; Foulger, 2005; Campbell, 2005; Campbell and Davies, 2006),centered on whether mantl...

The idea of lithosphere delamination has long been conceived as a mechanism to cause tectonic uplift,metamorphism and magmatism in active orogenic belts[1–3].Since the publication of the two seminal papers by Davies ...

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is the most commonly used technique to deter- mine the abundances of trace elements in a wide range of geological materials. However, incomplete sample digestion...

Niu et al.[1]recently show that the basement of the Chinese continental shelf(beneath East China Sea and South China Sea)is geologically unrelated to the continental lithosphere of eastern China,but is of exotic origin.

The effect of paleo-Pacific subduction on the geological evolution of the western Pacific and continental China is likely complex. Nevertheless, our analysis of the distribution of Mesozoic granitoids in the eastern c...
