Crustal Structure and Deep Deformation of the Chinese Mainland: Evidence from Deep Seismic Reflection Profiles and Other Geophysical Data Sets collects all available seismic reflection experiments that have been carried out in the Chinese mainland since the 1990s. Such data sheds light on the crustal-scale structure of major tectonic units in the Chinese mainland which reflect typical tectonic belts seen worldwide. Including full analysis and applications of the data as well as high-resolution images of the seismic reflection profiles themselves, this book provides valuable insight that can be applied globally for geologists, geophysicists and seismologists studying crustal structure and tectonics. Data from the Tibetan Plateau, which contains double normal thickness crust, is particularly valuable in providing details and an understanding of ongoing continent-continent collision. Contains all the available deep seismic reflection profiles and the most advanced research regarding the tectonic amalgamation of China on the basis of these data Includes about 8000 km-long deep seismic reflection profiles which cross most of the major geologic units in China Organized into two parts, first explaining the findings, analysis and applications of the data from a deep geodynamic perspective, and then sharing high resolution images of the seismic reflection profiles.
