In the thin lithosphere region on the west, both the crust and lithospheric mantle are rheologically weak (Fig. 2d–g) and actively deforming (Fig. 1a). In contrast, the cratonic lithosphere east of B&R is much thicker and less tectonically active; this thick root blocks and diverts ...
4.3.2 European region Western Europe and North America have a long history of environmental legislation (including water management) and modern technology to address most point source pollution from industrial and urban sewage but recent concerns are growing over virus contamination and modern chemicals,...
A foreland basin is defined as an elongated region of potential sediment accumulation developed on continental crust between an adjacent craton and a contractive orogenic belt. Its formation normally has to do with the geodynamic processes related to subduction and the resulting peripheral or retroarc ...

The combination of the Z-value and p-value supports the reliability of the research findings; The spatial Moran’s index for the western region of Henan is greater than zero and exceeds the expected value, suggesting a positive spatial correlation in the distribution of traditional villages in ...
metamorphic rocks in this region have yielded an amphibolite Sm–Nd isochron dating age of 3290 ± 170 Ma from the Kongling Complex [33]. Hence, this region is crucial for gold mineralization in Hubei Province and offers valuable insights into the ancient basement of the Yangtze Plate [34,...

Fig. 1. Simplified regional geological map of the Tugurige gold deposit (modified after Xiao et al., 2009, Pan et al., 2009). The deposit is situated in the northeastern margin of the North China Craton (NCC) and western part of the Xing'an–Mongolia Orogenic Belt (XMOB). Download: ...
Major immigration into Sardinia began in the first millennium bc and, at present, no more than 56–62% of Sardinian ancestry is from its first farmers. This value is lower than previous estimates, highlighting that Sardinia, similar to every other region in Europe, has been a stage for ...
