Earthquake events in Neoproterozoic and Early Paleozoic and its relationship with supercontinental Rodinia in North China

Carbonate liquefied veins in limestone and liquefied mud veins in mudstone are the result by earthquake, which is liquefied in sediments and a strong earthquake event remains clearly records in strata. 24 strata units with earthquake events (molar tooth), which are subdivided into 11 seismic periods, have been distinguished from Mid-Proterozoic to Early Paleozoic strata in the Sino-Korean platform. The distributions of them represent paleo-seismic tectonic zones in different periods, which is tallied with convergent continental block before Proterozoic supercontinental Rodinia and the evidence of the breakup or splitting developed in the inner Sino-Korean Platform in 700 Ma.
