1.1 Chinese Macro Geomorphologic Structure

Macro Geomorphologic Structure: Normal landforms taking the internal agency mainly, the up and down in the vertical direction and configuration combinations in the horizontal direction.

(1) Hypsography Pattern

Basic Features ： East-low and West-high, a ladder- shaped distribution; high hypsography, great highness; big surface gurgitation; the geographic significance of hypsography

(2) Combination Structure of Relief Forms

Quantity Structure of Relief Types Mountainous Regions Constructing Relief Framework

Plains and Lowland Concentrated in the Eastern China

Major Axis Direction of Basin Nearly East-west

1.2 Formation of Chinese Macro Geomorphologic Structure ——Explanation of Plate Theory

Justify ： Theory of Land Circle Mechanism

(1) Basic Points of Plate Theory

Resource Mechanism of Crustal Movement

Hot mantle convection, driving the movement of litho

sphere plates

Various stresses engendered by Plate

Crustal movement was in the horizontal direction

Special Phenomenon （ Evidence ）

Special Materials ： ophiolite and mixed

accumulation

Special Relief ： Boundary is mountainous region and

valley

(2) Explanation of Big Relief Type and Stretching Direction

Mountain-Valley to Contact with Plate for Geotectonic Activities Belt Evidence ： Ophiolite and mixed accumulation in diving belt

Asymmetry of Mountain slope (majority)

Eastern Mountain : East slope steep, West slope soft

Western Mountain : South slope soft, North slope steep

Plateau, Basins, Plains are in Plate, Construction Stable Regions

Four Axes of Mountainous Regions Pattern ： North-east, North- west,

East-west, South-north Two Geotectonic Areas （ Boundary: Helan Line ）

(3) Explanation of Big Relief Spatial-temporal Change

Horizontal Direction

East ： island-arc and back-arc basin land wave—upheaval and sedimentation belts

West ： accordion Land Wave—Mountainous regions and Basin and Altiplano （ terra seam type ）

Vertical Direction

Block and block cracked ， producing highest hypsography （ Tibetan Plateau ）

Considerations of the impact of external agency ： The latest collision region has the relatively highest topography Eastern : Taiwan mountains; Western : Himalaya Mountains
