摘要: 在青藏高原1∶25万地质填图中, 新生代地貌演化调查方法是查明地貌组成的形态、分布、形成年代等特征, 分析地貌成因类型, 研究地貌与构造、气候、沉积的关系, 通过夷平面、河流阶地等反映隆升过程的标志性地貌面调查, 分析地貌发展阶段, 建立区域地貌演化史.由黄河上游羊曲段阶地地貌调查结果, 推断黄河在0.03Ma才切开共和南山.对比黄河上游不同发育地段阶地, 表明黄河上游地貌演化过程是伴随高原阶段隆升而向上游阶段性溯源侵蚀发展的.1.6Ma黄河稳定出现在民和—兰州—临夏, 1.1Ma切开积石峡到达化隆-贵德, 0.15Ma切开龙羊峡出现于共和盆地, 约0.03Ma经历最新抬升事件, 切开贵南南山及西秦岭, 并沟通若尔盖盆地抵达黄河源区.Abstract: The Cenozoic geomorphological evolution investigation method is used for 1∶250 000 scale geological mapping in Qinghai-Tibet plateau, which clarifies the geomorphological features and geomorphological distributing and their ages and also helps the analysis of geomorphology origin and the relationship of geomorphology, tectonism, climate and sediments. Meanwhile, the investigation of the representatives, planation surfaces and terrace which indicates the uplifting processes also enables us to analyze the geomorphology evolution and reconstruct its history in a certain region. Given the result of investigation on terrace geomorphology in Yangqu of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the authors deduce that Nanshan, Guinan has been cut through by the Yellow River before 0.03 Ma. The comparison between different terraces in various places of the Yellow River indicates that its geomorphological (evolution) is accompanied by episodic uplifting of the Tibet plateau and related episodic toward the source. Four stages can be recognized here. Firstly, in 1.6 Ma, the Yellow River stabilized in Minhe-Lanzhou-Linxia. Secondly, in 1.1 Ma, it cut through Jishi canyon and arrived in Hualong-Guide. Thirdly, in (0.15 Ma), it appeared in the Gonghe basin after splitting Longyan canyon. Fourthly, after the latest uplifting event around, it cut through Nanshan, Guinan and western Qinling, and reached the source of the Yellow River passing Ruoergai basin.
