Tectonic Plates of China

Abstract

In this report we will give an overall description on the basic tectonic elements of China the subduction and collision fault zones and the available geophysical information. Then we will make a plausible tectonic subdivision from the point of view of surface wave studies, and finally try to point out some outstanding problems of particular interest. It should be noted that the present report only represents a preliminary summary that shows our research progress. A more comprehensive study is an on-going part of this contract research.
