摘要
This paper gives the integrated analyses of geothermochronology and tectonic system evolution of eastern Altyn Tagh Mountains, northern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The regional thermal cooling history of the eastern Altyn Tagh was controlled by these tectonic events and the tectonic events developed there were recorded by the thermal cooling history. Various massifs developed in different time had experienced different cooling histories which are well depicted by the geothermochronologic data. Therefore, geothermochronology is a helpful method for understanding the regional tectonic evolution of eastern Altyn Tagh area.
