术语“构造物理学”(即构造作用、地壳变动或造山运动的物理学),是由N.L.鲍文对1940年成立的美国地球物理联合会的这一新分会命名的。在《地质学词典》中,对这一术语下的定义是相当不明确的,即“一门研究造成地壳运动和变形的力的地球物理分支”(美国地质研究所,1972,1980)。构造物理学已经发展到论述全地球的非弹性变形,研究从岩石圈板块运动到晶格位错的范围约达16级的构 The term “tectonic physics ” (ie tectonism, crustal movement or the orogeny of physics) was named by N.L. Bowen to this new chapter of the 1945 American Geophysical Union. In the Geological Dictionary, the definition under this term is quite ambiguous: “a geophysical branch that studies the forces that cause crustal movement and deformation” (American Geological Institute, 1972, 1980) . Structural physics has been developed to discuss the whole earth’s inelastic deformation, the study from the lithospheric plate movement to lattice dislocation range of about 16
