About the Book
This atlas is an important result from the project ''Tectonics, Evolution and Ore-Forming Background of Qinling Orogenic Belt (1992--1996)'', which was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The maps were compiled with a view to continental plate tectonics and geodynamics, based on the latest research results from geology, geochemistry and geophysics. Included are: Tectonic Map, Geophysical Lithospheric Section, and Geochemical Map of the Qinling Orogenic Belt. The aim of compiling these maps was to show the formation, development, structure and tectonic features of the Qinling, in particular emphasizing its orogenic processes and current 3D framework
