Abstract

Central orogenic belt means sandwiched between Tarim block, North China block and Yangtze block, it was EW distributed by Kunlun-Qilian-Qinling-Dabie-Sulu mountain chain and sandwiched between Lot composition, stretching more than 4,000 kilometers of Phanerozoic orogenic complex system. Qaidam Basin is located in the middle of the central orogenic belt just south of the Kunlun-Qinling orogenic belt, north of Qilian orogenic belt, north west across the Altyn fault and adjacent Tarim Basin, is the central link of connected orogenic belt in China Continental geology occupy an important position. Faults is passed tectonic evolution of the lithosphere, the deep dynamic processes and material composition information of the most important tectonic window, therefore, since the 1960s the international Geodynamics plans have been undertaken on the mantle plan, and continental lithosphere dynamics Program faults regarded as one of the important research, particularly in the implementation of continental dynamics program today, faults clarify crustal evolution in order to become the continent, continental dynamics model established core research content. Qin Qi Kun faults are well developed, the main fault controls the structural and stratigraphic division. Based on comprehensive geological, geophysical, spatial and temporal distribution of data analyzed in the study area and different kinetic principal stress field on the main fault zone and tectonic features for a more systematic summary and classification for the future in other areas research laid a good foundation.
