Abstract: According to 1: 500 000 gravity data, the Moho-discontinuity depth is calculated, resulting in knowldge of the distribution of crustal thickness in southeastern Tarim basin and Altun area. The relations between deep structures in southeastern Tarim basin and Altun uplift are discussed based on geological structure of deeper lithosphere from magnetotelluric depth (MT) section across Altun mountain.

Key words: Tarim basin, Altun mountain, Bouguer anomaly, Moho-discontinuity, Magnetotelluric exploration, Geological structure
