| Abstract: | The distribution of the Jurassic coal measures in the northern Qaidam Basin is obviously controlled by the regional structures.Based on the existing data of coalfield exploration and combined with the analysis of coalfield basement structures,features of the main faults,and the distribution of coal measures,this paper brings forward a scheme of coalfield tectonic divisional units and the definition of the coal-controlling structural styles in the northern Qaidam Basin.The structure control of the distribution of coal measures is further discussed.Several stages of regional tectonic activities since the Indosinian has led to the distribution of coal measures into the characteristics of zonation from the north to south and block from east to west.The results indicate that the structural deformations are the most intense in the front of the three uplifted belts,which are characterized by the combination of thrusts.The coal measures are uplifted to the shallow formations,and are easy to be exploited,but the scale of mines is small because of serious damages by the coal distribution.On the contrary,the stress and strain are weak in the three depressions,with the coal-controlling structural styles being mainly the thrust-fold and thrust-monocline combinations.The distribution of coals in the depressions is relatively stable.The shallower part of the depression will become the key areas for exploration and development of coal resources in the northern Qaidam Basin. |
