中国大陆与沿海有数以百计的中新生代盆地,其中绝大部分蕴藏着丰富的油气资源。关于这些盆地的形成,朱夏曾认为是阿尔卑斯构造运动对前阿尔卑斯中国地台进行改造而产生的一种新的构造格局,并曾借用和引伸S.V.Bubnoff的“变格运动”(Diktyogenese)一辞来说明。1980年又指出,当时所说的阿尔卑斯运动体制(从泛大陆开始解体以来,控制了新全球构造格局的板块运动体制)在中国大陆内部不同地壳块段上的表现。 There are hundreds of Mesozoic-Cenozoic basins in mainland China and the coast, most of which contain abundant oil and gas resources. Regarding the formation of these basins, Zhu Xia considered a new tectonic framework created by the alpine tectonic transformation of the former Alpine China platform and borrowed and extended SVBubnoff’s “Diktyogenese” Description. In 1980, it was pointed out that what was then said of the Alps movement regime (the plate movement regime that controlled the new global tectonic setting since the pan-continental disintegration) manifested itself in different crust blocks in mainland China.
