New Model Reveals Deformation Mechanisms of North China Craton

A recent study published in Nature Geoscience reveals the geodynamic mantle-flow model explaining the deformation of the North China Craton (NCC). Led by Professor Shaofeng Liu, the research uncovers the impact of the Izanagi plate’s subduction on NCC’s decratonization, offering insights into tectonic interactions and implications for seismic hazards in Northeast Asia.
