Abstract: The structural features are complicated in Kongquehe area because of the influences of Kuluktag faulted uplift and multi-stage tectonic movements.The faults that affect the area most are Kongquehe fracture, Baliying fracture, Weili fracture and Weimake-Kaiping fracture.The area had undergone such evolution stages as passive borderland basining, squeeze-retrograde nose-like swelling, cratonic inner sagging, intracratonic basining and para-foreland basin.Late Caledonian tectonic movement formed the basic structural configuration of the Lower Paleozoic; Yanshan movement regenerated Palaeozoic structures and shaped Jurassic structures; Himalayan movement made the area developed as a para-foreland basin.Large-scale nose-like swells were developed during the Palaeozoic era, while the Mesozoic was dominated by the faulted-anticline traps with thrust belt.The trap can be divided into four types and subdivided into ten kinds, and three structural styles were developed in this area.

Key words: Kongquehe area, deformation feature, structural zonation, structural evolvement, structural style
