作为张文佑教授主编的《中国及邻区海陆大地构造图》的一部分,我们编写了中国及邻区中、新生代盆地图及说明书.本文就是该成果的一部分.一中、新生代以来亚洲大陆和西太平洋的地壳演化进入了崭新阶段.在这一地史时期内地壳和岩石圈的厚度、大陆型和海洋型地壳的分布均发生了重大变化,且伴以强烈的岩浆活动,并形成了一系列的沉积盆地.后者不仅在地球表面有广泛分布,而且贮藏着丰富的能源、盐类及其它资源,因此很多地质工作者对其演化特征进行过深入地研究.不少中外学者对沉积盆地进行过卓有成效的研究,从不同角度予以分类.我们认为:盆地形成的时代和岩相组合固然可以作为分类的标志,但发育的大地构造背景、地壳性质、盆地形成的方式和结构等具有更为重要的影响.同时,在一定的地壳演化阶段可产生具有特定构造性质的盆地组合,而地壳的演化与海陆分布又有一定的 As part of the “Map of the Sea and Land in China and its Adjacent Areas” edited by Professor Zhang Wenyou, we compiled maps and instructions for the Mesozoic and Cenozoic basins in China and their neighboring regions. This article is part of the report. The crustal evolution in the western Pacific has entered a completely new phase in which the thickness of the crust and lithosphere, the distribution of both continental and marine crusts have undergone major changes, accompanied by intense magmatic activity and the formation of a Series of sedimentary basins, which are not only widely distributed on the Earth’s surface but also rich in energy, salt and other resources, so many geologists have conducted in-depth studies on their evolutionary characteristics.Many Chinese and foreign scholars have been deeply concerned with sedimentary basins We have considered that the age and lithofacies combination formed in the basin can certainly be regarded as the classification index, but the developed tectonic setting, the nature of the crust, the way and structure of basin formation and so on have more Important influence.At the same time, basin assemblage with certain tectonic property can be produced in certain stage of crustal evolution, while Sea shells evolution and distribution of land and has a certain
