Abstract: This paper deals with the uplift mechanism and the uplift form of Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) plateau and the deformation regularity of its surrounding region caused by this uplifting. It is shown that the insertion of Indian plate with the wedge-like frontal margin beneath Qinghai-Xizang plateau made the plateau compressed and uplifted; at same time along several pre-existing large faults, striking NE and NW, the strike-slip movement took place. It is of great significance to study Asian regional tectonics, especially to the present tectonic movement.

Key words: Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) plateau, Tectonophysical modelling, Strike-slip, Nappe structure

摘要： 本文利用构造物理模拟实验方法,结合地震与地质资料分析,对青藏高原抬升机制,抬升形式以及由于这一运动过程所引起周围地区的变形规律等进行了研究。通过分析认为前缘呈楔状的印度板块插入青藏高原下部,除使青藏高原挤压抬升外,同时沿先成几条大的北西向断裂产生向东—东南方向走滑,这对研究亚洲区域构造尤其是现代构造运动具有重要意义。
