However, the research thought of this academic fietd is not open enough. It is atmost with one viewpoint or one voice, i.e., atmost art the papers pubtished in journals of China considered the layers with SSDS as seismites. On the other hand, the authors are very glad to learn that the professors and students of China University of Petroleum （East China） have proposed different academic viewpoints on the origin of SSDS in Lingshan Istand, Qingdao, Shandong Province, China. It is a very active academic atmosphere. The authors＇ ideas are as follows： （1） The SSDS are sedimentary structures with multi-origin. The term ＂SSDS＂ is a good sedimentary and geological term and shoutd be utilized continuat[y. （2） The term ＂seismites＂ is a term which is definitety assigned to the layers with SSDS induced by earthquakes. It is one type of the tayers with SSDS. It is not equal to SSDS. （3） Some geotogists suggested obsoleting the term ＂seismites＂. These suggestions are rational However, since the term ＂seismites＂ has been utilized for a long time in China and worldwide, to obsolete this term should be discussed and agreement should be acquired from numerous geologists in China and worldwide. It may be suitable that let the geological practice decide whether to obsolete it or not. （4） Hopefully, further progress will be made in the researches of SSDS.展开更多

Integrative geotectonics is defined as a disci-pline to study very synthetically the whole history and causationistic relations of formation and evolution of the global tectonics (including the crustal and deep teetospheric structures) with the comprehensive analysis method. It is also called as "crustobody geotectonics" for its main geotectonic element is crustobody. Its characteristics are: (1) regarding the internal and exter-nal dynamics forming the earth’s structure as multi-origined, polygenetic compound resultant force system; (2) studying motions of the global tectospheres and among them as a multiple and interrelative dynamic system; (3) studying integratively and the unitedly on the internaland extenal (e. g. meteorite impact) factors of evolution and motion of crustobodies constituting the earth’s hard shell (lithosphere); (4) besides the contents above reviewing main relative controversies in history of geology, e. g. between gradual change and mutation (or between uniformitarinanisnl and catastrophism), f ixism and mobilism, vertical and horizon-tal movements.展开更多
