褶皱叠加方式与其形成的构造现象极为复杂。常见3种叠加方式为共轴叠加、横跨叠加和斜跨叠加。如果地质体均一,断层不发育,即会形成理想型叠加褶皱的构造样式。如果发育区域性大型断层,在不同方向的区域应力场作用下,加上地质体的不均一,就会在不同的区块内形成更为复杂的叠加褶皱与构造组合。贵州境内自古生代-中生代先后发育了5条切割基底的区域性断裂,至早中中生代,这些断层将区内切割为6个主要构造块体。在三叠纪之后的燕山构造运动期间,发生了强烈的构造叠加变形,早燕山期与晚燕山期区域应力场方向不同,使得不同区域断层的性质、位移发生变化,断层的多次活动起到了应力释放与调整作用,再加上块体地质结构的不均一性与软弱层的滑脱作用,最终在不同区块内发生了不同的褶皱叠加作用,形成了不同的褶皱构造样式与构造组合。
Folds superimposition pattern and associated structural formation are extremely complex. However, there are three kinds of familiar fold superimposition patterns:perpendicular intersection, inclined intersection and in parallel. The ideal tectonic styles of superimposed folds will form if the geological background is uniform and the fault is not developed, otherwise, more complex superimposed folds and structural assemblages will form in different blocks divided by regional large faults in different directions regional stress field. In Guizhou Province, five regional faults cutting basement have developed from Paleozoic to Mesozoic, by early to middle Mesozoic, the whole province was divided into six major tectonic blocks by these regional faults. Intense tectonic superimposed deformation has occurred during Yanshanian, regional faults whose displacement and nature will change from early to late Yanshanian because of different regional stress field directions have played stress release and adjustment role during several movements. At the same time, geological structure of different blocks are heterogeneous and weak layer will perform detachment effect. Ultimately, different blocks will undergo various folds superimposition and form different styles of fold structure and tectonic assemblages.
