Abstract

Abstract

Fission-track, which is based on the effect of uranium fission-radiation, is a kind of isotopic thermochronology method. On the basis of analyzing the theories and methods of the fission-track, the commonly used age value as well as the effect of fission-track annealing, this paper summarizes the relevant theories of the method and their application to the orogenic belt uplifting-cooling, the sedimentary basin analysis, the relationship of mountain-basin coupling, the time-limit of fault activities, the hydrothermal mineralization and so on. With reference to current studies of the fission-track thermochronology both at home and abroad, this paper also provides implication for future studies.
