黄海和东海地区是亚洲紧密连结而又具代表性的一部分,其构造反映了整个大陆及距离更远地区的构造事件。通过研究地块的运动和由一百多万年来沉积于各种环境和气候条件下的海相和非海相沉积组成的伴生褶皱带,可对这些事件进行追索。现今的沉积物有不少与古代的相类似,因此,可为我们提供测定许多沉积参数的机会,而这在业已消失的海洋中,显然是不可能的。要增进对这些消失的海洋的了解,我们就必须不仅以岩石年龄图和地层划分为依据(虽则,仅仅它们还是绘制古地理图的基础),而且以板块运动的概念为指导进行研究。现代沉积学及对板块运动的认识已使我们的地质演化概念发生了变化。从此以前更为详尽的研究则可望得到更为令人瞩目的成果。
The Yellow Sea and the East China Sea are closely linked but representative parts of Asia, and their tectonics reflect the tectonic events across the continent and beyond. These events can be traced by studying the movement of the block and the associated fold belt that consists of marine and non-marine sediments deposited in more than one million years of various environmental and climatic conditions. Many of today’s sediments are similar to ancient ones, and therefore provide us with the opportunity to measure many sedimentary parameters that are obviously not possible in the lost oceans. To increase our understanding of these lost oceans, we must study not only the rock age map and the stratigraphic division (though, they are merely the basis for the paleogeography map), but also guided by the notion of plate movement. Modern understanding of sedimentology and plate movement has changed the concept of our geological evolution. More elaborate research from then is expected to yield even more impressive results.
