The Shandong peninsula is on the Sino Koreanplat form, which stabilized during the Proterozoic(Yang et al., 1986; Ren et al., 1987). The Tancheng Lujiangfault zone, a shearing deep fracture system extending more than 1000 km in a north-northeast south-southwest direction in eastern China, is east of the Shanwang area (Zhao et al., 1983; [in, 1985; Ren etal., 1987) (see Figure 1).

Lake Basins Through Space and Time

The geology of lake basins was a popular subject in the 19th century, fired by interest in the discoveries during the exploration of the American west. This book builds on the experience of an international group of limnogeology enthusiasts. The science of limnogeology is of importance to petroleum geology. Although not every limnic deposit is an exploration target, a comprehensive understanding of diverse lacustrine environments of deposition can help exploration strategies. The volume presents 60 new basin summaries, a few of which are Mongolia, southeastern Kazakhstan, southern Scotland, northwest China, the U.S. southwest, southern France, northeastern Spain, central Italy, and northwestern Mexico.
