摘　　要：The Mesozoic—Cenozoic latitudinal displacement amounts of terranes (or blocks) in the Qinghai—Tibet plateau were calculated in paleomagnetism. These terranes (or blocks) include Tarim and Qaidam blocks, East Kunlun, Baryan Har, Qiangtang, Lhasa and Himalaya terranes. The calculated results are listed in table 1. These results show that:(1) There was the latitudinal displacement difference between central area and southwestern area in the Tarim southern margin since the lower Cretaceous. There was a southward latitudinal movement from the beginning of middle Jurassic or upper Jurassic (Zhou Qingjie, 1992). The northward movement amounts of the Tarim northern margin since the Paleocene are greater than that of the Tarim southern margin. Tarim southern margin has moved northward about 1100km since the Paleocene, Tarim northern margin has done about 1700km. Qaidam has moved northward about 3100km since lower\|middle Jurassic. The northward displacement amount of Qaidam since Paleocene is about 810km, near to that of the central area, Tarim southern margin.The Mesozoic—Cenozoic latitudinal displacement amounts of terranes (or blocks) in the Qinghai—Tibet plateau were calculated in paleomagnetism.
