Tectonic background of Ordos Basin and its controlling role for basin evolution and energy mineral deposits

In order to Study the relationship of energy mineral deposits and tectonic movements in Ordos basin, more than 82 samples were taken for determination of apatite and zircon fission tracks. Furthermore, 93 apatite and zircon fission tracks have been selected from other publications. According to these data and other geological background, the evolution of Ordos basin can be divided into 4 stages. and the reformation of the basin can be divided into 5 stages. The basin formation and development were controlled by regional geodynamics. Oil, coal. nature gas and uranium deposits were formed in deferent stages. In the same time, 140 samples were taken and analyzed by organic and inorganic geochemical methods. The results indicate that coal and source rocks generate oil and natural gas, which migrate through reservoir rocks. Oil and natural gas changed the redox conditions of sediments and let uranium accumulate in the sandstones.
