    中国区域大地构造学的研究展望

    Prospect of researches on regional tectonics of China

    • 摘要: 提要:中国区域大地构造学是对中国区域地质调查成果的理论概括,回答所研究地区的地球动力学环境及其在地质历史上的演变。中国占据亚洲东部环太平洋与特提斯构造域结合部位,在过去4亿年期间由具有不同地壳结构、生物地理区系和演化历史的地质体镶嵌拼合而成,具有复式大陆构造的典型特征。中国的区域构造研究有可能在如下方面对全球构造理论作出自己的贡献:(1)与北美、非洲等巨型克拉通相比,中国地台的规模小、刚性化程度低、盖层变形强烈,这种相对高的构造活动性正好提供了有关大陆生长和演化规律的窗口;(2)复式大陆中并列的陆块来自不同源区,意味着中国区域构造的“世界性”,因此开展大区域古地磁、古生物-地理区、古沉积、古构造与古成矿作用与环境复位的综合研究,厘清中国各陆块不同地质历史时期在全球构造中的位置,必然对完善全球构造演化做出贡献;(3)中国是世界上造山带最多的国家之一,青藏高原和台湾海岸山脉是正在进行中的大陆碰撞和弧-陆碰撞场所,从极为丰富的实例中总结出古、新造山带的类型和基本演化规律,可以丰富全球大陆增生的理论;(4)古特提斯洋从古亚洲退却的过程与路径是迄今尚未解决而长期受人关注的科学问题;(5)中国广泛存在的中—新生代陆内变形与盆山构造-地貌的形成,应该是大陆动力学深入研究的命题;(6)内、外动力地质作用对环境变化的影响扩展了区域构造研究的领域。面对新世纪科学技术的发展,学科交叉和新技术应用对地学研究的促进,将迎来中国区域大地构造学研究蓬勃发展的新前景。

       

      Abstract: Abstract:Based on the result of regional geological survey in China, this paper tries to generalize the theoretical system of China’s regional tectonics so as to outline its geodynamics and evolution in earth history. As we know, China is located at the juncture between the Circum-Pacific tectonic belt and the Tethys tectonic domain, with tectonic characteristics of a composite continent. Such a continent is composed of several geological blocks with distinct structures, biogeography fauna and evolution history. The blocks have been welded and amalgamated into the continent in the past 400 Ma years. Thus, China’s regional tectonics can make its due contribution to global tectonic theory in the following aspects:First, the tectonic blocks (or platforms) in China are small, non-rigid, with strong deformation of cover rocks in comparison with such other cratons as North American craton and African craton, and this phenomenon provides a window for studying continent growth and evolution. Second, the tectonic blocks of China’s composite continent were derived from different parts of the globe. Therefore, comprehensive research is necessary on large-scale paleomagnetism, paleontology-geography, paleo-sedimentation, paleo-tectonics, paleo-mineralization and paleo-environments, so as to understand the tectonic positions of China in global framework in different stages of its tectonic history. Such a study will surely contribute to the research on global tectonics. Third, China has many orogenic belts, in which the Tibetan Plateau and the Taiwan Coast Ranges are characterized by continental-continental collision and arc-continental collision in progress, respectively. The paleo/new-orogenic belts and their tectonic evolutions will enrich theories of global continental accretion. Fourth, geologists have long paid much attention to the retreat progress and path of Paleo-Tethys ocean from Paleo-Asian ocean, but without satisfactory result so far. The formation of Mesozoic-Cenozoic intra-continental deformation and basin-mountain tectonics-geomorphology in China is a hot topic which needs in-depth study in the light of continental dynamics. Sixth, the impact of geological processes on environmental change has also enlarged the area of regional tectonic studies.  Facing development of science and technology in the new century, inter-discipline studies and new technology application will surely promote geological research. We are about to see the new flourishing prospect of China’s regional tectonic study.
