Abstract

The Mesoproterozoic mafic dyke swarms are extensively distributed in the central North China Craton(NCC) including North Shanxi, Wutai and Luliang areas, which are not deformed and metamorphic but high magnetic, so the dyke swarms become the mark to compare the high metamorphic rock areas in magnetism. Based on the analysis of paleomagnetism of mafic dyke swarms in North Shanxi, Wutai and Luliang areas, NCC inclined southward about 18° so that North Shanxi lifted up and rotated 10° left to Wutai area. The dyke swarms in Luliang developed later than in North Shanxi and Wutai area. The NNW-trending and WNW-trending dyke swarms developed in Luliang while the North China Plate moved northward consistently so that the paleomagnetism of dyke swarms in Luliang is greatly different from North Shanxi and Wutai area.
