文摘A series of mountain systems and intermountane basins extend across the northern and western China. The largest of the basins are those of Tarim, Junggar and Qaidam. A thick sedimentary sequence has been deposited in these basins during the Cenozoic. Accordingly, the region has great potential for the study of the Quaternary stratigraphy.
