... of paleoclimate records from arid northern China. We find that EASM intensity was strong during the MWP and that the SML in arid northern China was roughly located along the Yinshan Mountains, Yabulai Mountains, and north of Lake Qinghai. EASM intensity dramatically weakened during the MWP-LIA transition...

... at the junction among the E-W–trending Yinshan-Yanshan tectonic belt, the NNE-trending Taihang Mountain belt, and the Late Cretaceous–Cenozoic North China Basin. During Jurassic–Cretaceous time, three deformational events, including one compressional and two extensional deformation stages, were superimposed...

Sandstone from the Jurassic Zhiluo Formation in the northern Ordos Basin is primarily sourced from the older rocks of the Yinshan Belt, the Alxa Block, and the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, with no contributions from...

... system (Wang 2006 ). During the middle-late Jurassic, in the Yinshan-Yanshan orogenic belt and the Taihang Mountain belt, Tiaojishan andesitic volcanic rocks formed along the NE-trending structural belts and basins at 162–152 Ma (e.g., Zhao et al. 2004 ; Liu 2006 ). At the same time, WNW-vergent...

For example, in the northern part of the North China Block ( Fig. 1 ), several metamorphic core complexes occur along the Yinshan–Yanshan mountain ranges. The metamorphic core complex at Hohhot ( Fig. 1 ) has an Archaean basement core...
