受燕山期构造格局控制，湘鄂赣皖交界区的白垩-早第三纪湖盆呈近东西向和近南北向展布、第四纪湖盆继承这一格局发育，局部受到新构造运动改造，其中最重要的是北北东向的江汉-洞庭断陷；麻城-团风断裂控制了孝感断陷和梁子湖断陷，并使某些断陷湖演化为复成因湖。北西向断裂和鄂东南的掀斜对第四纪湖盆发育也有重要作用。在此基础上讨论了燕山运动的特征、北北东向断裂新生代活动的机制等问题。 Controlled by the Yanshanian tectonic setting, the Cretaceous-Early Tertiary lake basins in the junctional areas of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Anhui are distributed in the near east-west direction and near the north-north direction. The Quaternary lacustrine basin inherited this pattern and was partly rebuilt by neotectonics , Of which the most important is the Jianghan-Dongting faulted north-northwest fault; the Macheng-Tuanfeng fault controlled the Xiaogan faulted depression and the Liangzijie faulted depression, and some of the rift lakes evolved into the complex genesis lake. Northwest fault and slanted tilt in southeastern Hubei also play an important role in Quaternary lake basin development. Based on this, the characteristics of the Yanshan movement and the mechanism of Cenozoic activities of NE faults are discussed.
