构造样式的模型功能，可做为判别煤田构造的参照系；机制功能，可做为探讨煤田构造成因和板块动力背景的导引。煤田地质构造可概括为逆冲推覆、挤压褶皱，伸展、重力滑动、直剪、旋剪等类样式。建议以煤田构造样式作为煤田构造分类的基础，结合其它学科研究成果，建立新的煤田勘探模式，更新现行的煤田勘探工作指导方针 Structural style model functions can be used as a frame of reference to discriminate coalfield structures; mechanism functions can serve as a guide to explore the cause of coalfields and the dynamic background of the plate. Coalfield geological structure can be summarized as thrust nappe, extrusion folds, stretching, gravity sliding, direct shear, rotary shear and other types. It is suggested that based on coalfield tectonic style as the basis of coalfield tectonic classification, combined with other disciplinary research results, a new coalfield exploration mode should be established to update the current coalfield exploration work guidelines
