“…Namely, 1) west-directed subduction of a Paleo-Pacific plate during the Mesozoic causes intra-or back-arc extension (Watson et al, 1987;Traynor and Sladen, 1995;Ren et al, 2002); 2) roll-back of the westward subducting Paleo-Pacific oceanic plate, and post-orogenic collapse is following the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous contraction ; 3) South-Southeast-directed subduction of the Mongol-Okhotsk oceanic plate during the Mesozoic is responsible for extension (Wang et al, 2002); 4) interaction between the Pacific Zorin, 1999); Buteel (Mazukabzov et al, 2006;Donskaya et al, 2008); Nartyn (magmatic dome, Daoudene et al, 2009), Zagan (Donskaya et al, 2008); Ed (Ereendavaa, Daoudene et al, 2009Daoudene et al, , 2011; Cb (Central basement uplift of Songliao basin, Zhang et al, 2000); Xy (Xiuyan magmatic dome, Lin et al, 2007); Yg (YaganOnch Hayrhan, Zheng et al, 1991;Webb et al, 1999); Hohhot (Davis et al, 2002;Davis and Darby, 2010); Kl (Kalaqin magmatic dome, Han et al, 2001); Ym (Yunmengshan, Zheng et al, 1991;Davis et al, 1996Davis et al, , 2002; Yw (Yiwulüshan, Darby et al, 2001Darby et al, , 2004Lin and Wang, 2006); Xs (Xishan pluton, Wang et al, 2011c); Gd (Gudaoling syntectonic granite, Guan et al, 2008;Lin et al, 2011); Sl (South Liaodong Peninsula, Yin and Nie, 1996;Liu et al, 2005;Lin and Wang, 2006;Lin et al, 2008); Np (Nampho magmatic dome, Wu et al, 2007); Lg (Linglong-Guojialing complex dome, Charles et al, 2011); Jn (Jiaonan extensive dome, Hacker et al, 2009)…”
