- W2948619489 abstract "It is widely accepted that the lithosphere beneath the eastern portion of the North China Craton (NCC) has suffered extensive thinning and destruction since the Mesozoic. The driving force for this transformation remains debated, although most models make a first-order link with the evolution of the Paleo-Pacific subduction and the effects of the Pacific slab subduction. In this review, we discuss the temporal and spatial relationships between the Paleo-Pacific and the Pacific slab subduction and the lithospheric thinning/destruction processes experienced by the NCC. We recognize four key stages: 1) an initial stage of low angle flat subduction of the Paleo-Pacific slab between ~170–145 Ma, 2) the sinking or rollback of the Paleo-Pacific slab and associated asthenosphere upwelling (145–110 Ma), 3) the disappearance of the Paleo-Pacific slab into lower mantle (110–55 Ma), and 4) the initiation of subduction of the present-day Pacific slab and associated formation of a Big Mantle Wedge (BMW) beneath East Asia (<55 Ma). The initial flat subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate inhibited mantle-derived magmatism in the period between 170 and 145 Ma beneath the NCC. However, during this stage, intraplate deformation and crustal magmatism migrated westward from craton margin to interior. The cratonic subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) was further hydrated and metasomatized in addition to that caused by prior circum-cratonic orogenies/subductions. At ca. 155 Ma, the Paleo-Pacific plate began to sink or roll back, causing asthenosphere upwelling and triggering melting of the metasomatized SCLM to form arc-like basalts and low degree melts such as lamprophyres. Vigorous mantle flow/convection transported the metasomatically refertilized and weakened cratonic SCLM into the deep mantle and resulted in the thinning of the lithosphere. At the craton margins, where the lithosphere, thickened by collision, had lost a lower portion of the cratonic SCLM by mantle erosion, delamination of the eclogitic lower crust and underlying pre-thinned SCLM occurred. Upwelling asthenosphere replaced the detached lithosphere and then cooled by conduction to form new lithospheric mantle. This process may have continued to ca. 125 Ma when mantle-derived melts transitioned from arc-like to OIB-like basalts. Replacement of the mantle lithosphere by asthenosphere elevated the lithospheric geotherm and led to extensive crustal melting and the generation of massive volumes of felsic-intermediate magmatism in the eastern NCC until ~110 Ma. After the termination of lithosphere replacement, the speed of subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate may have increased and by ca. 55 Ma, the whole slab vanished into the lower mantle. We suggest that the subsequent formation of present-day Pacific ocean lithosphere led to a new phase of low angle subduction of the Pacific plate margin. At ca. 35 Ma, the Pacific plate started to descend forming a BMW, accompanied by upwelling of asthenosphere and widespread eruption of alkali basalts across eastern China. The ongoing subduction of the Pacific plate may also lead to further lithospheric thinning." @default.
