On the basis of reviewing the simple research history of the Proterozoic ophiolite systematically,the present paper summarizes the present research situation in time space distribution,type of end members,metamorphism,geotectonic setting and constraint of geochemistry for the Proterozoic ophiolite,and discusses its significance of plate tectonics.

Unconformities, their tectonic significance and impact on hydrocarbon accumulation in the Kashi Sag, Tarim Basin;

High-pressure metamorphic belt in Qiangtang, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and its tectonic significance.;

Characteristics and tectonic significance of the Zhanarigen rock masses in Zhidoi,Qinghai;

Neoproterozoic magmatic events within the Yangtze continental interior and along its northern margin and their tectonic implication:constraint from the ELA-ICPMS U-Pb geochronology of zircons from the Huangling and Hannan complexes.;

Lithogeochemical characteristics and tectonic implications of two series of volcanic rocks from Early Permian Dashizhai Formation in the south section of Da Hinggan Mountains;

Geochemical characteristics and tectonic implications of North Kuda Pluton, West Kunlun Mountains;

Control of plate tectonics over evolution of petroliferous basins and characteristic of oil and gas distribution in China;

Charm of landing of plate tectonics on the continent as viewed from the study of the archipelagic arc-basin system;

Present-day mantle flow and its interaction with plate tectonics inferred from observational evidence;
