Abstract

Abstract

Developed in the hinterland of the tarim basin, Neogene sedimentary stratain the centre of Tarim basin are well-outcropped and hold the information about the uplift and denudation of provenance orogenic belt.Using the methods of paleocurrent, sandstone detrital component and heavy mineral assemblages characteristics, combing with regional tectonic evolution of the study area, the sedimentary response relationship between the paleogeomorphology pattern and the uplifting and denudation of the sediment source area is discussed in Mazhatage Mountain. Results show that the overall pattern of the ancient landform in the study area is high in the west and low in the east, the sediment source of the study area before the early Pliocene mainly comes from the West Kunlun orogenic belt and Pamirsorogenic belt, while since the beginning of Pliocene epoch the sediment source mainly comes from Pamirs orogenic belt, and in the early Pliocenethere was an obvious structural uplift movement in the source area, and a rapid rise and denudation tectonic event occurred during the pleistocene period
