Characteristics of Cenozoic volcanic edifices in the Pingnan area, Xihu Sag by Naiquan SUN, Donghui JIANG, Jie PAN, Yang GAO, Renhai PU, Xinxu DONG

“…Significance Igneous rocks are well-developed in the southern Pinghu slope zone, Xihu Sag, East China Sea Shelf Basin. In this zone, the increased local geotemperature caused by magmatic activity produced significant impacts on the thermal evolution of source rocks and the formation of secondary pores in sandstone reservoirs and also serves as a significant indicator of regional tectonic movements, thus holding great significance for understanding the regional geological history. …”
