DISCUSSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEEP SEISMIC REFLECTION PATTERNS AND TECTONIC UNITS OF THE EASTERN PART OF THE CENTRAL ASIAN OROGENIC BELT IN …

2017

Division of tectonic units in the eastern part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt in northeast China has been a major concern and resulted in much fieldwork, but the division of these tectonic units in NE China is still controversial. Although detection of tectonic units in seismic sections is not straightforward, for this meeting, we shall try to relate tectonic units with the crustal and upper mantle structure and deformation derived from a ~2500 km long reflection seismic profile (Figure, red lines) in this area, recently acquired or reprocessed with support of China Geological Survey and the Chinese SinoProbe Project.
