Abstract

Abstract

Nansha Sea area lies between extinct paleo-South China Sea and newly-formed South China Sea (SCS) and its relevant researches are of great importance for understanding the mechanisms of rifting in northern SCS continental margin, seafloor spreading in the new SCS, and southward subduction of the paleo-SCS.This paper studies the Cenozoic tectonics and basin evolution in the area by utilizing balanced section.It is suggested that the Cenozoic tectonics in this area have evident zonality features demonstrated by different dominating factors and tectonic activity stages in the three blocks separated by major faults.The tectonic activities of Nansha block are dominated by NW-striking stress, and are divided into an extension-and compression stage by Mid-Late Miocene.Wan'an basin is controlled by Wan'an Fault, and shows no significant stage feature.Zengmu block displays overall similar tectonic activity characteristics and some differences from Nansha block.Based on these results, evolution of major basin in this area is divided into four stages: rifting-, syn-sediment-, compressing-, and regional subsidence stage.However, evolution differs in different basins: Beikang basin is prominent in the rifting and compressing stage, and is lack of regional subsidence stage; Nanweixi basin rifts strongly in the north and is relatively weak in the south; Wan'an basin is lack of compressing stage; Zengmu basin shows evident four-stage feature.
