南海西部断裂系研究及其物理模拟实验证据

Western fault zone of South China Sea and its physical simulation evidences

南海西部断裂系是由四条典型的走滑断裂所组成的断裂系统,是南海扩张的西部边界.此断裂系主要是在白垩纪以来的印-藏碰撞、新生代印支挤出和南海扩张的共同作用下形成的.通过模拟实验,探讨此断裂系的成因、演化过程,认识到此断裂系经历了五期构造运动.

The western fault zone of South China Sea is a strike-slip fault system and consists of five typical strike-slip faults. It is the western border of the South China Sea opening. The formation of the system fault zone and it plays an important role in the Cenozoic evolution of the South China Sea. So the tectonic model experiments are done to study the orientation and motion of the fault zone.
