Deep tectonic-thermal effects and inorganic gas reservoirs during Yanshanian period in volcanic basins along Yangtze River in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces

The Mesozoic volcanic basins along the Yangtze River in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces are closely related with large-scale magmatic eruption, intrusion and volcanism caused by the Yanshanian tectonic movement. According to geophysical data, deep tectonic-thermal effect during basin evolution and its geologic response are studied. The possibility for the discovery and exploration of unconventional new energy in the volcanic basins along the Yangtze River is discussed, and the potential for inorganic gas reservoirs in the volcanic basins is prospected.
