Title: PROGRESS AND TRENDS OF RESRARCHES ON THRUST-NAPPE TECTONICS
Abstract: The research of thrust-nappe tectonics since the middle epoch of 1970s is re-viewed.It is suggested that the thrust-nappes occur extensively in various tectonic ele-ments and indicated emphatically that these structures in orogen,particularly those in ac-tive platform should be studied seriously.Stepping style is the basic pattern, however,various models of the structures must be analysed comprehensively,The relationship ofthe thrust-nappe system with the associated folds is analysed.Depending on the geologicalsetting,thrust-nappes occur with various patterns, and fan-shaped thrust structure refer-ring to uplifting and ramp-shaped thrust structure referring to depression are the dominantstyle being of universal significance,Compressive nappes usually are closely associatedwith extensional gliding nappes,and are controlled by thermal uplifting.The sequence oforigin is ordered as follows:thrust-nappe→igneous intrusion→gliding nappe. In theend of the paper the author proposes some remarks for the further research of thrust-nappe tectonics.
