The two rock associations in Neoarchean are thought to be related to various tectonic settings. Rocks from around 2.7 billion years ago are related to a Large Igneous Province event. However, scholars have different ideas on the formation of rocks at around 2.5 billion years ago. Some suggested the

and the eruption of volcanic rocks about 2.75–2.65 billion years ago. Shortly, a metamorphic event took place 2.65 billion years ago, which altered the rocks into gneiss and metamorphosed sedimentary rocks. Nonetheless, the gneisses in both areas have slightly different geological records. Gneisses

The formation of Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt 1.9 billion years ago has been controversial. Some scholars suggest it was formed by arc-continent collision, but others believe it was related to the intra-continental rift. However, the Trans-North China Orogen was certainly formed 1.85 billion years ago under
