Discovery of the Gravity Gliding Tectonic of Shanwang Formation, Shanwang Basin

On the large-scale stratig raphic succession of Shanwang Formation, Shanwang Basin, a new type of gravity gliding tectonic is identified. It consists of three parts: the underl ying system; the gliding floor and the gliding system. Interior of the gliding system can be dividedint of our sections: the parallel gliding section; the symmetric compressional section; the flexible creeping section and the folding nappe section. The classic flexible folding effectis found in microscopic distinction of the gliding system. The differ encebetweeng ravity glidingt ectonic of Shanwang Formation is discussed. The genesis of gravity gliding tectonic of Shanwang For mation is possibly relevant tovolcanism. The acquisition of gravity gliding tectonic of Shanwang Formation is important to understand the formation and evolution of Shanwang Basin.
