Abstract: The marginal sea along the western fringe of the Pacific Ocean is one of the most magnificant regions of global tectonics. In the plate tectonics pattern, a marginal sea is located in the tension-rifted region of the continental plate adjacent to the plate convergence boundary. Among such marginal seas, the South China Sea is probably the most complex, and one of the most important oil-and-gas provinces in Southeast Asia. This paper, based on results from geophysical surveys and drilling activities as well as other available data, is intended to describe briefly the tectonics and deposits of the Cenozoic Era in the South China Sea.
