Key Transition of Chinese Plate Configuration at the End of Early Paleozoic
,
,
The plate configuration is the basic geological question in the tectonics, which considers the large scale basin-orogen relationship, and controls the configuration of oceans and continents, origin and evolution of basin-range provinces, and has also been applied to uncover the close of ocean and uplift of mountains. The end of Early Paleozoic is the key transition period of Chinese three plates. Based on the global high coefficient paleomagnetic data and tectonic comparison in geological affiliation, the global configuration in the Late Precambrian to Early Paleozoic is reconstructed by GPlate software, the Ordovician-Silurian is the key transition period of Chinese three plates. Before 440 Ma, the configuration of Chinese three plates is N-S/T style（North China lies in the west, South China lies in the northeast, Tarim lies in the southeast). After 440 Ma, the configuration is transformed into a T-N/S style (Tarim lies in the west, North China lies in the northeast, South China lies in the southeast) that maintains. The key transition is related to the breakup of the Late Precambrian Rodinian supercontinent and the change of ocean-continent configuration of Chinese three plates in the Early Paleozoic, the transition is from extension to compression in tectonic setting.
