Abstract: Basin and range structure developed during the Meso-Cenozoic period in Southeast China was controlled by those pre-existed fault systems.There are three fault systems in the area with NNE-NE, nearly E-W, NW strikes.Based on the characteristics of the basins, there are three types of basins in the area: graben, listric faults and transform-extension.The characteristics of the basin and range province in Southeast China is shown by longitudinal blocks in S-N and cross zones in E-W.Formation of basin and range province in Southeast China was mainly resulted from geodynamic evolution of west marginal-Pacific tectonic domain, and from collision and squeezing of Indian plate with Euro-Asian continent.
