Abstract The southwestern margin of the Qaidam Basin was intensely affected by a series of faulting movement of the Neocene in the north of Kunlun Mountain,and developed serious soft sediment deformation structure such as load structures,flame structures,ball-and-pillow structures,seismic breccias,ground fissure,vibrational liquefaction deformation structure and synsedimentary micro-fault faults. The regional geological survey,the measured sections and sample tests all analysis that there were three strong uplift of mountains in 1.8-1.2 Ma,0.8Ma and 0.15Ma,these uplift events were accompanied by a strong ancient seismic activity. As the sedimentary and structural response in the uplift event,it formed a series of typical continental facies interplate seismites and the construction signs of seismites. It has a important significance to research the interplate uneven uplift of the Qinghai￣Tibet Plateau and relationship among tectonic uplift,earthquake,deposition effects.
