Abstract: The processes of tectonic dynamic systems along the three peripheries of the Junggar Basin and the diversity of the basement framework resulted in that the uplift structures with different behaviours developed in the Junggar Basin during varied geohistorical periods. The orogeny outside the northeastern boundary during Late Carboniferous produced the Northern Rise of the basin, which differentiated further to be the Luliang Uplift and the Wulungu Depression in Late Permian. While the orogeny outside the northwestern boundary during Early Permian brought about the creation of the Chepaizi Uplift, and the followed thrusting gave rise to the Kelamay-Xiazijie thrust belts. The transpression during the Yanshanian orogeny resulted in the Chepaizi-Mosuowan Uplift in the sedimentary cover with a SW-NE strike. The northward expansion of thrusting in the areas of Northern Tianshan Mountains during Cenozoic caused a rapidly flexural subsidence in southern part of the Junggar Basin, accompanied with the southward tilting of the basin interior, and the northward migration of the fore-bulges. Based on the characteristics of the basement, the formational ages, the kinematic styles, the geologic structures and the preservation of uplifts, the paleo-uplifts in the Junggar Basin could be classified into four basic types, namely, the successive type, the discontinuous one, the tilted one and the thrust belt uplift. The main tectonic features of each type of them were summed up, which showed that the uplifts played a great and characteristic role in the accumulation and distribution of oil and gas in the Junggar Basin.
