CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CENOZOIC AND MESOZOIC GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH AND SOUTH CHINA,
Abstract
The book is a summarization of a part of the field and laboratory work of the Research Laboratory of Structural Geology, Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, from 1963 to 1965. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is the general discussion. The history of tectonic development in Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras in North and South China is divided into stages, and the geodynamic method is applied to analyze the tectonic deformation and the sedimentary facies and lava activities it controls in the various stages, and on the basis of this analysis, several viewpoints are proposed concerning the leading factors in the tectonic development. The second part is separate discussions. The primary characteristics of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic tectonic development in the five major stages in North and South China are investigated. The third part is special discussions. It deals mainly with the division of the Triassic tectonic movement in South China into different stages, the major types of Mesozoic tectonics, the relationship between lava activities and tectonics since the Triassic Period, and the tectonic characteristics of the South China platform. Finally, the litho-chemical characteristics of the Mesozoic volcanic rocks in East China and their relationship to tectonic geology are clarified. (Author)
