| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Deformation aspect of a continent is studied by paleomagnetic view points. We focus on the Asian continent due to collision of the Indian continent. SE Asia is chosen for deformation study of the Asian continent. Because India collied with Asia at about 50 Ma, we collcted Cretaceous red sandstones from Yunnan, Sichuan, Indochina Peninsula and Malay Peninsula. Reliable paleomagnetic directions are observed after careful thermla demagnetization. These data describe deformation of SE Asia as follows. (1)SE Asia experienced clockwise rotation more than 20 degrees. A zone affected by clockwise rotational deformation extends from the southern tip of the Chuan Dian Fragment, through Indochina Peninsula to as far as the Malay Peninsula. (2) The the Shan-Thai block and the southern margin of the Indochina Peninsula were subjected to internal tectonic deformation. (3)The Khorat basin behaved as a rigid block during contnenental deformation.
