AEROMAGNETIC SURVEY AND GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF OFFSHORE CHINA

This paper discusses the characteristics of the regional geological structure of the Bohai Sea, the Huanghai Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea on the basis of the data achieved by aeromagnetic surveys over the past years.The Huanghai Sea is an intercontinental sea which is tectenically similar, and can be connected, to the adjacent continental parts. It is a submerged part of the continent. Aeromagnetic survey shows that the deep structures in this area strike E-W, belonging to the Pal-Asiatic Tectonic Domain. The South China Sea is a typical marginal sea of the Western Pacific Ocean, resulting from the fracturing of the continental margin and the sea floor spreading from the Mid-Oligocene to the Miocene.     

中国附近海域航空磁测及区域构造特征

本文主要根据历年来在中国附近海域进行航空磁测所得资料,探讨了渤海、黄海、东海及南海地质构造特征。指出渤海拗陷是产生在华北地块前震旦系刚硬的结晶基底之上的新生代裂陷式盆地。黄海是相邻陆区地质构造的沉没部分。东海深部构造呈近近东西向,属古亚洲域构造。南海属太平洋西缘典型的边缘海之一,是渐新世以来大陆边缘破裂、海底局部扩张下形成的。
