摘要
Structural analyses and balanced cross-section restoration were jointly used in this paper to investigate the structural system, the tectonic setting and the geodynamic evolution model of the Qaidam Basin. Combined with the analysis of balance profile, the basin preliminary dynamic evolution model was established, it is that the Qaidam Basin experienced expansion within the period of Early Jurassic to Middle Jurassic and episodic extrusion composited sideslip within the period of Cenozoic, and the structural framework of Qaidam Basin was formed within Quaternary.
