    Abstract:

    LITHOPROBE is Canada's national earth science program. Ten typical sections representing to some extents the typical geological characteristics of Canada or major tectonic processes with global significance. In terms of time, its geological evolution covers more than 4 Ga across the long geological age. A series of achievements has been made results using deep seismic reflection technology and comprehensive study of various disciplines. For example, the mechanism related to plate tectonics occurred about 3.0 Ga ago and greatly revised the collision of ancient lithological circle and the process of the formation of new crust, revealing the reflection image of deep ore-controlling structures in a number of the large-scale deposit intensive area. This has ushered Canada into the world's forefront of earth science come. This paper intends to systematically introduce LITHOPROBE in the hope to provide references for China's deep exploration technology and experiment research.
