Abstract
Results of advanced tectonic interpretation show that the growth structures in the Chaochang area mainly include the basin basement growth faults, the cap formation growth faults and the reversal anticline. In order to exactly explain the evolution history of the tectonics, a numerical modeling study was done for a selected tectonic profile by using the TSM software. The modeling researches include recovering denudation thickness, decompaction correction and faults elimination correction. Results show that the study area principally experienced faulted period, fault-depressed diversionary period, depression period and reverse period. Comprehensive study of the tectonic interpretation, the recovery of tectonic evolution sections and the quantitative analysis of extension parameters, indicates that Chaochang area developed the upper and lower fault systems that were bounded by Denglouku Formation by the extension stress.
