Abstract Although North China belongs to Craton type in geology, there exist quite a lot of low velocity layers (LVL) in its crust, especially in its eastern region. Most of these LVLs locate at the bottom of the upper crust with depth of 15-25 km. Compared with LVLs in active orogens, the LVLs in North China possess greatly different characteristics. Usually, these LVLs are not large in horizontal scale and are not connected each other. In the same time, the velocity drops are small, usually less than 5%. Considering the thermal erosion action at the bottom of the lithosphere and the geothermal state, it is deduced that partial melt may be one important factor to generate LVLs in the crust.
Key words ：
North China area
low velocity layer (LVL)
crustal structure
artificial earthquake
thermal erosion
