Understanding the Mechanisms Behind the Mesozoic Metamorphosis of the North China Craton (NCC) (VIDEO)
Caption
For years, scientists have been trying to understand the mechanisms behind the destruction of Earth’s cratons, but results have remained elusive. Now, in a Nature Geoscience study, researchers employed four-dimensional mantle-flow models to study the mechanisms behind the deformation of NCC. Findings provide new insights into the dynamic interplay of several geological processes behind this deformation.
