About this title

Synopsis

Part 1 covers the origin of mountains and tectonic facies mapping, and discusses the geologic thinking on orogenesis, the archipelago model of orogenesis, and the making of a tectonic facies map.

Part 2 interprets the geology of the Greater Tibet in terms of the backarc evolution of two archipelagos and their collision.

Part 3 defines the Paleozoic archipelagos of North China by delineating their magmatic front. The tectonic evolution of North China is interpreted on the basis of archipelago model of orogenesis.

Part 4 discusses the geology of Central China in terms of its collision with two archipelagos, North China and South China.

Part 5 covers the geology of South China in terms of the back arc evolution and plate collision, pointing out that the terrains underlying South China are deformation belts, not a platform.

Part 6 discusses the geology of NE China and SE coastal China in terms of a plate collision.

Part 7 handles the Phanerozoic history of China through a summary of the geologic evolution of the various map units in this geologic Atlas. The paleogeographic evolution of China provides a temporal perspective for the understanding of the geology of China. The Atlas includes 24 atlas sheets and numerous text figures.
