构造的第三副面孔─—地貌的构造分析

地貌构造分析或叫新构造分析，是大地构造研究中最重要的领域。新构造学探讨地貌及相关的沉积特征，以阐明岩石圈近地表部分的新构造作用。由于Ｓ．Ｓ．Ｓｃｈｕｌｔｚ、Ｖ．Ａ．Ｏ－ｂｒｕｃｈｅｖ、Ｎ．Ｉ．Ｎｉｋｏｌａｅｖ、Ｎ．Ａ．Ｆｌｏｒｅｎｓｏｖ等人的工作，新构造学已作为一门独立的学科出现在苏联地学界。新构造学理论的基础是年轻内生作用的速率和特征与地球表面地貌的相关性。区域和应用新构造学研究的目的在于依据地貌资料编汇新构造图及进行各类地质预测。本文以中亚、东亚及整个地球为例进行了探讨。

THE THIRD FACE OF TECTONICS TECTONIC ANALYSIS OF RELIEF

Tectonic analysis of the relief or neotectonics is the most important field of geotec-tonics. Neotectonics deals with the relief and its associated sediments in order to recognize theyoung tectonism of the near-surface parts of the lithosphere. Neotectonics as a scientific interestappeared in USSR due to works of S.S.Schultz,V. A. Obruchev,N. I.Nikolaev,N. A. Flo-rensov and others.The theory of neotectonics is based upon the correspondence of the Earthsurface relief to the rates and characters of young endogenic processes. Regional and appliedneotectonics aims at compiling of neotectonic maps and various kinds of geological prognosis interms of geomorphological data, Examples are furnished by the achivements of neotectonic re-search in Central and Eastern Asia and for the Earth as a whole.
