al. (1989) drew the simplified geological map of Thailand as shown in Figure 2.1 and they also showed the broad relationships between the megasequences by a cross-section through Northeastern Thailand (Figure 2.2; the line of section is indicated on Figure 2.1). It illustrates the links between Mesozoic sedimentations and regional tectonics.

The geological investigation of Thailand has been intensively conducted during the past 30 years. Geologic map at a 1: 250,000 scale covering the whole country had been compiled since 1981. Stratigraphy of Thailand which is based on the terrane or ancient microcontinent concept was published in 1992. Many geologists have applied the

(B) Simplified tectonic map of Thailand based on the results of the airborne geophysical and geological investigations, showing the major sutures and two micro-plates (Nakhon Thai and Lampang-Chiang Rai) between the Shan Thai and Indochina terranes (modified after Charusiri et al. [2002], Tulyatid and Charusiri [1999]).

The aims of this paper are two fold (1) describe and critically review the tectonic activities of Thailand and mainland SE Asia, and relationship between tectonics and seismicity of Thailand and adjacent areas and (2) to discuss occurrence of seismicity related to reservoir impoundment.

The new magnetic map provides new insights into the tectonic setting of East Asia. Analysis of the compiled data reveals several regional anomaly patterns: (1) the NE-SW trending high positive magnetic anomaly zone extending from southwest Taiwan to the area about 114.5°E and 22°N is pronounced; but it is less continuous southwest of the ...

Dec 1, 2013 · Simplified map showing the principal strike-slip faults identified in Thailand and part of Eastern Myanmar. Also shown is the eastern limit of Sibumasu, the Gondwana-derived composite block which includes the Phuket Terrane and Slate Belt (combined under the name Phuket-Slate Belt terrane).
