Abstract

Following an account of the main features of the structure and tectonic history of the Chinese continent presented in this volume, the related applied problems, the influence of the environment and geological hazards have been discussed. Particularly, the relationship between tectonics and mineralization will be considered in this chapter; there are very good prospects for the further development of mineral resources in China.
