Abstract

Correlation of the loess-paleosol sequence on Loess Plateau and the tectonoclimatic cycle it reflects with the moraine-paleosol sequence on Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and the uplift process it reflects, indicates that both sequences are synchronous to each other on phase variation with a quasi-period of 0.4Ma, i.e. the eccentricity variation period. The response of the variation of the Asian paleomonsoon and the paleoclimatic change to the uplift stages and altitudes and the underlying surfaces is studied.
