藏北高原现代火山的航空象片与地图分析

This paper studies the formation and distribution of the modern volcanoes in the depopulated areas of the northern part of Tibet by analysing acria] pictures and maps. It is important to research on the relationships between volcanic activities in the northern part of Tibet, the uplift of Tibet and plate tactonies.The distribution of the modern volcanoes in the northern part of Tibet is typified by zones on the sorthern foot of Kunlun and Aerge mountains. It extends 1050 km from west to east-most of which lie in the fault basin between 35°20'N and 36°20'N.The eruption in this region is probably resulted from the new tectonic boundary which was caused by the compression of the Tibet onto the Talimu massif by southern Asia Continent.These volcanoes are from west to east as follows.
