Tectonic evolution scenarios. a Paleo-Asian Ocean northward subduction in early Paleozoic. The Southern Mongolia microplate and the North China Craton began to convergent. b Paleo-Asian Ocean began southward subduction in middle and late Paleozoic. The pattern of bidirectional subductions has been formed. c Continental collision in late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic. The Paleo-Asian Ocean has been closed in the Solonker Suture Zone. d Post-collisional extension in middle and late Mesozoic. A larger scale of thermal material was upwelling. Baiyinuoer and other mineral concentration areas began to form. e Intra-continental deformation from late Mesozoic to the present. The lithosphere has been thinned in the North China Craton. The subduction of Paleo-Pacific Plate began
