Abstract: | In the Kunlun Mountains Pass area, all the landform, structure, sedimentary facies and assembladge of organisms show that a violent tectonic movement occurred between 1.1-0.7 MaB. P. The movement leads to a largescale uplifting first, and then fault-block risine and fault depression occurred suddenly in the northern Plateau. In the late period of this movement, sudden and tremendous uplifting raised this area over the critical elevation of 3 000 m and caused the appearance of the maximum glaciation in Quaternary. This uplifting is perhaps the driving force of the tremendous environmental change of tectonic-climatic circulation at the break of the early and middle Pleistocene in China. |
