Abstract:

Based on the analysis of GPS data and the results of a 3D viscoelastic modeling,it is proposed that themacro movement form of Ordos block is composed of two parts. One is anti-clockwise rotation of Ordos block itself,and the other is the movement of the whole continent of China. This opinion can explain the contradiction of therotation directions of south,north rupture belts and east,west rupture belts. Furthertmore,a new model describingthe interaction of Ordos block and adjacent blocks,“Extrusive,Impellent and Impeditive Mod(E11
