On the basis of precise regional stratigraphic classification
and correlation with analysis of biofacies and lithofacies, Phanerozoic
palaeogeography of Northwest China is reconstructd period by period. Outline
of plate tectonic patterns in different epoch and geolgoical development
is revealed largely according to the spatial and temporal distribution
of characteristic biotas and similar facies belts. As a whole, palaeozoic
history is essentially one of rifting, dispersal and collision involving
the Siberia, Kazakhstan, Tarim and North China plates, resulting in their
gradual incorporation. From the Middle Triasic onwords the geological
evolution is mainly the process of amalgamation of the Qinghai-Xizang
Plateau into Eurasia follwong northward subductions of the India Plate.
In addition, the geological characters and displacements of the Altun-Beishan
Geowedge and west junggar Nappe are also discussed in detail.
