Abstract: Based on the precise seismic interpretation and by means of cross-section technique,we analyze the geological evolution history of the Qaidam Basin and the unique fault structure system which was formed in different tectonic dynamic backgrounds.It is suggested that with the compressional effect and strike-slip regional stress,three fault systems (northern,southern and north-west)are formed in Qaidam Basin.These faults are reverse and strike-slip faultones mostly,and accompanied by a small number of synsedimentary faults,detachment faults,and inverted faults,etc.The restorations of the balanced seismic sections indicate that the generated times of the faults are different.Some of them are formed within Miocene;some are formed from Pliocene to Quaternary separately,and the others are active in the whole process of basin evolution history.These faults have undergone the expansion in Jurassic,the initial compression in Paleogene,the large amplitude compressional strike-slip in Neogene before they fell into patterns in Quaternary.
