The Junggar Basin (simplified Chinese: 准噶尔盆地; traditional Chinese: 準噶爾盆地), also known as the Dzungarian Basin or Zungarian Basin, is one of the largest sedimentary basins in Northwest China.

The Dzungars who lived in an area that stretched from the west end of the Great Wall of China to present-day eastern Kazakhstan and from present-day northern Kyrgyzstan to southern Siberia (most of which is located in present-day Xinjiang), were the last nomadic empire to threaten China, which they did from the early 17th century through the ...

4 days ago · China - Junggar Basin, Xinjiang, Gobi Desert: North of the Tarim Basin is another large depression, the Junggar (Dzungarian) Basin. It is enclosed by the Tien Shan on the south, while to the northeast it is cut off from Mongolia by the Altai Mountains. The surface of the basin is flat, with a gentle slope to the southwest.

At its greatest extent, it covered an area from southern Siberia in the north to present-day Kyrgyzstan in the south, and from the Great Wall of China in the east to present-day Kazakhstan in the west. The core of the Dzungar Khanate is today …

Junggar Basin, extensive basin in the Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang, northwestern China. The basin is located between the Mongolian Altai Mountains, on the Sino-Mongolian border, to the north, and the Borohoro (Poluokenu) and Eren Habirga mountains, to …

Nov 21, 2023 · The Junggar Basin, NW China, hosts continuous and well-exposed Late Triassic and Jurassic continental strata. Extensive coal, oil and gas deposits occur within the basin and, together with the high-palaeolatitude locality and continental records of several Mesozoic geological events, make the sedimentary successions globally important.

Aug 8, 2010 · This review paper summarizes the sedimentary and palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Junggar Basin in Northwest China largely based on hardly accessible Chinese language papers, and complemented by own field observations and a critical survey of key sediment cores from petroleum wells.

The Junggar Basin is one of the great intermontane basins of Central Asia. Situated between the Tian Shan and Altai mountain ranges, it supports a vast expanse of semi-desert habitat. Mountain gaps to the north admit enough precipitation for thin steppe vegetation, too meager for livestock but adequate for well-adapted wild mammals.

May 12, 2021 · The Junggar Basin is a large sedimentary basin in Northwest China, specifically located in Xinjiang that contain the third largest Petroleum reservoirs in all of Asia.

May 17, 2022 · In this study, we present four north-south trending seismic profiles across the modern southern Junggar foreland basin, together with well logging data which reflect the structure and regional distribution of the late Cenozoic foreland …
