The current magma formation theory has many shortcomings and is unable to address issues such as the origin of granites and the source of oceanic seamount magmas, and its evolution is ambiguous. Here, based on the lat...

Evidence of seafloor spreading[1,2]proved the seafloor-spreading hypothesis[3]and led to the discovery of plate tectonics.A further observation-based analysis showed that seafloor-spreading results from downward pulli...

Tidal forces are generally neglected in the discussion about the mechanisms driving plate tectonics despite a worldwide geodynamic asymmetry also observed at subduction and rift zones.The tidal drag could theoreticall...
Knowing Moho discontinuity undulation is fundamental to understanding mechanisms of lithosphereasthenosphere interaction, extensional tectonism and crustal deformation in volcanic passive margins such as the study are...

Global geodynamic reconstruction models of the Pacific margin of Asia refer to materials collected throughout Japan,Korea and northeastern China,but they lack data on southern Sikhote-Alin.Therewith,the Sikhote-Alin o...
We statistically validate the 2011-2022 earthquake prediction records of Ada, the sixth finalist of the 2nd China AETA in 2021, who made 147 earthquake predictions (including 60% of magnitude 5.5 earthquakes) with a p...

Late Mesozoic magmatism in southeastern China has been widely considered to be related to the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate.However,it remains controversial whether mafic rocks are derived from the lithosphere...
The oceanic asthenosphere is one of the most enigmatic regions in the Earth’s interior.The presence of seismic lowvelocity zones implies high softness at the top of the asthenosphere,which may cause smooth plate moti...
Seismic anisotropy is an effective feature to study the inner structure of the Earth.In complex tectonic area,the assumption of single-layer anisotropy is sometimes not well consistent with the observed data;thus,the ...

The petrology, geochronology and geochemistry of the mafic enclaves in the Mid-Late Triassic Jiefangyingzi pluton from Chifeng area, southern Inner Mongolia, in China are studied to reveal their petrogenetic relations...
