Abstract

According to the magnetic field of the northern of the South China Sea and its “reduction-to-the-pole”- anomaly, the area could be divided into four zones with different tectonic features from north to south. They are complex magnetic anomaly zone and high magnetic anomaly belt in the shelf, magnetic quiet zone in the slope, and magnetic lineation zone in the ocean ba-sin. The magnetic quiet zone could be divided further into three parts for inside magnetic quiet zone 1, inside magnetic quiet zone 2, and outside magnetic quiet zone. The depth of magnetic basement in the outside magnetic quiet zone is 6?7 km, between the inside magnetic quiet zone (8?10 km) and the lineation zone in the ocean basin (4?5 km). It may be the residue oceanic crust before the Cenozoic. Outside the magnetic quiet zone there is a high velocity layer  in the lower crust, which implies that the magnetic quiet zone is formed by under plating during rifting or pre-rifting. F2 fault is located in the shelf slope break, which is the northern border of the inside magnetic quiet zone. The fault may indicate the transformational border from continental crust to transitional crust in the northern South China Sea. F4 fault, located at the junction between lower continental slope and ocean basin, is the south border outside the magnetic quiet zone. F3 fault may indicate the location of continent–ocean boundary.
