This review focuses on the tectonics and sedimentation of major sedimentary basins and
orogenic belts (Late Proterozoic–Neogene) in the Korean peninsula. The Korean peninsula …

Convergent plate motion at∼ 320–210 Ma generated the Tongbai-Dabie-Sulu (east-central
China)-Imjingang-Gyeonggi (central Korea)-Renge-Suo (Southwestern Japan)-Sikhote-Alin …

Passive continental margins are geometrically irregular as a consequence of either triple‐
junction evolution or the development of transfer zones in detachment fault systems …

The geotectonic framework and the evolutionary history of the Japanese Islands need
revision in accordance with the various geophysical/geological evidence gathered by new …

Tremendous progress has been made in the geological understanding of the Korean seas
with the advances in sophisticated exploration techniques, specifically in the areas of marine …

Lithofacies distribution and petrography and intracontinental deformation in the North China
block (NCB) and the South China block (SCB) show an active continental margin flanked by …

Ophiolites and high‐pressure (HP) metamorphic rocks are studied to test continuation of
Paleozoic and early Mesozoic geological units from Japan to Primorye over the Japan Sea …

U Pb zircon ages were determined for a metavolcanic rock from the Munjuri Formation in
the central Ogcheon belt, Korea. Four zircon fractions were analyzed of which three are …

An integrated description and interpretation of depositional, magmatic, and tectonic
development of the Cretaceous sedimentary basins is presented in the present paper to …

The structure of the mylonite belt in the southwestern part of the Ogcheon belt has been
investigated and interpreted in the light of recent radiometric data. The shear belt is …
