Features: This book is based on geophysical information and proposes a multi-cycle, pre-tensioned post-compression tectonic evolution history of the North China Basin in theory. It systematically elaborates on the structural features, sedimentary types, tectonic styles, superimposed relationships, evolutionary processes, and formation mechanisms of the North China Basin during different periods and of different types of basins. Particularly, it applies high-quality exploration seismic information to classify the petroleum tectonic styles of the North China Basin into fault-block structures, extensional structures, compressional structures, strike-slip structures, inversion structures, non-marine fault structures, and composite structures, among others. It also provides a comprehensive discussion of various tectonic styles in the North China Basin. The book is concise and richly illustrated with figures and tables, offering numerous examples for oil and gas exploration and seismic data interpretation.
