The intensive extensional deformation in the eastern part of the Chinese continent in Late Mesozoic time (J3-K1) caused the formation of largescale fault basin system in Northeastern China block, metamorphic core complexes in North China block and widespread volcanic eruption and granitic intrusive in eastern China.

The passive rifting period was ended by a short WNW-ESE compression at about 125 Ma. After that, the tectonic environment transferred to a strong NW-SE extensional environment and the rifting evolved into a volcanic arc basin in the Qingshan period. The igneous rocks are shoshonitic to high-K calc-alkaline trachyandesites to trachytes with a few intercalated lamprophyres and a rhyolite.The geochemical characteristics of the igneous rocks indicate that they are mantle-derived melts with a metasomatized mantle source and/or crustal contamination. In addition, an increased thinning of the lithosphere happened during the rifting episodes.The low-angle subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate in the Jurassic weakened the thickened SOB lithospheric mantle. The rollback of the subducting plate started in late Jurassic to early Cretaceous, and the SOB lithospheric mantle was delaminated synchronously because of the gravity collapse. Thus, this caused passive rifting in the Laiyang period. Thereafter, the rollback and trench retreat of the high-angle subducting Paleo-Pacific plate would have achieved its climax, resulting in the strong regional extension. Passive rifting was ended by the crustal uplift caused by asthenospheric upwelling beneath the rift. The lower crust was heated by the upwelling asthenosphere and partially melted to form felsic melts, which were emplaced upwards and erupted explosively. The rift evolved into a volcanic arc basin in the Qingshan period and showed some characteristics of active rifting. Above all, a passive rifting in the Laiyang period and a volcanic arc basin in the Qingshan period developed successively in the Lingshan Island area(the central SOB). This records the transfer of the study area from the Paleo-Tethys tectonic domain to the circum-Pacific tectonic domain. The delamination of SOB lithospheric mantle and the upwelling of asthenospheric material were the deep dynamic mechanisms driving the development and evolution of two rift episodes.

文摘? The intensive extensional deformation in the eastern part of the Chinese continent in Late Mesozoic time (J3-K1) caused the formation of largescale fault basin system in Northeastern China block, metamorphic core complexes in North China block and widespread volcanic eruption and granitic intrusive in eastern China. Generally, the deformation has been interpreted as subduction tectonics along the eastern continental margin. We suggest that the combination effect of the subduction and collision in Tethys domain and the subduction from Pacific side and the mantle upwelling beneath the lithosphere. This event controlled the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous tectonic history in eastern China.
