Subduction and Rollback Led to the Deformation of the North China Craton, Reveals Study

Caption

The subfigures above depict how the four-dimensional model predicts the subduction of the Izanagi plate, which occurred from 163 to 90 million years ago. The unique features of this geological process ultimately destabilized the craton’s keel, caused geochemical alterations and mixing with mantle materials, and produced a sequence of compressive and extensional deformations that altered the landscape.
