传统大地构造学侧重于大陆的研究,忽视了海洋,而板块构造学则立足于海洋,对于大陆内部的板块划分讨论极少。对于大陆板块的逐级划分,早在板块学说问世之前就开始了,只不过当时采用的名称(如断块、块体、地块等)不同,没有与海底扩张理论联系起来。 The traditional geotectonics focuses on the study of the mainland, neglecting the ocean, and the plate tectonics are based on the ocean. There is very little discussion on the plate division within the mainland. The gradual division of the continental plate began long before the theory of plate was invented, except that the names adopted at that time (such as broken blocks, blocks, plots, etc.) were not linked to the theory of submarine expansion.
