plate continental margin

These NNE and ne faults become a long transform fault system and formed a boundary between the eastern margin of China Continental Plate and Philippine Sea Plate.

这些北北东向和北东向断层形成一条巨长的转换断层系列，也是中国大陆板块东缘与菲律宾洋块的一条边界。

The plate activity is weaker in the passive continental margin of the northern South China Sea, which is favorable for forming the large-scale gas field and gas hydrate reservoirs.

南海北部被动大陆边缘是板块活动相对较弱的地区，业已证实是巨大天然气田形成的有利场所，同时也是水合物发育的有利地区。

Southeastern China continental margin has undergone a complicated convergence process of the Eurasian plate with the Pacific plate and Tethys plate.

中国大陆东、南边缘经历了欧亚板块与太平洋板块和特提斯板块会聚作用的复杂过程。
