Combined the structures revealed by 3D seismic profiles across the Bohai Bay Basin in recent 10 years with geochemical results and Meso-Cenozoic structures around the Bohai Bay Basin in recent 20 years, the authors propose that during the destruction of the North China Craton, the shallow tectonism of the Bohai Bay Basin was the Mesozoic extrusion tectonics and the Cenozoic NW-directed crustal extension. The Cenozoic deep-seated tectonism is the regional far-field eastern propagation of the western asthenosphere due to the India-Eurasia plate collision accompanying with eastern jumping and back-rolling of subduction zones of the Pacific Plate.
