  4. The Geological History and Geomorphology of Northern Thailand Tectonic Subdivision of Thailand SibumasuTerrane SI (Sino, Siam) BU (Burma) MA (Malaya) SU (Sumatra) The terrane is bounded to the west and southwest by the Mogok Metamorphic Belt, the Andaman Sea, and the Medial Sumatra tectonic zone, and to the east and northeast by sutures representing the main Palaeotethys Ocean, from north to south. The oldest dated sedimentary rocks on Sibumasu are of Middle Cambrian to Early Ordovician age.

  5. The Geological History and Geomorphology of Northern Thailand Tectonic Subdivision of Thailand Indochina Terrane a continental block, a part of the South China-Indochina Superterrane, with a Precambrian basement covered by Paleozoic shallow-marine deposits and Mesozoic continental sediments Rich and diverse marine faunas

  6. The Geological History and Geomorphology of Northern Thailand Tectonic Subdivision of Thailand • Inthanon Zone • an Indochina-related terrane • remnants of the Palaeotethys Ocean • 2 deep-sea units • the Fang Chert • typical pelagic deposit of the Palaeotethys • the Mae Sariang Group • Middle-Late Triassic radiolarian cherts and turbiditicclastics, with the Carnian beds of early Late Triassic

  8. The Geological History and Geomorphology of Northern Thailand Tectonic Subdivision of Thailand SukhothaiTerrane a magmatic island arc developed along the margin of the Indochina Terrane The Sukhothai Arc was constructed in the Late Carboniferous-Early Permian by northwards subduction of the Palaeotethys.

  15. The Geological History and Geomorphology of Northern Thailand Strongly folded and faulted sedimentary rocks on the upper north indicates the basin-range type mountains. In the east and the west are steeply and deeply cut valleys and valley plains which are sources of several important water flowing down to the south of the country.
