Li Siguang and Geomechanics

李四光和地质力学

In the 1920s, Li Siguang, a geologist¹ and founder² of geological mechanics of China, set up the subject of geological mechanics and made great contribution to the geological theory. He studied lithosphere³ with the mechanic theory, and established the tectonic system, one of the bask⁴ concepts of tectonic mechanics. He provided new ways to explore the natural phenomena⁵ and ushered⁶ in new ways of studying the lithosphere movement. His theory made great contribution to China's oil reconnaissance and survey.

20世纪20年代，地质学家，中圈地质力学的奠基人李四光建立了新的边缘学科“地质力学”，为地质学理论作出了伟大贡献。倡导用力学观点研究地质，建立了 “构造体系”概念——地质力学最基本的概念之.为探索矿产分布的规律及其研究地壳运动提供r新方法。他的理论为中困石油的探索和发现作出了重要贡献。
