Studying in detail three-dimensional electrical structural features of lithospheres and combining with other geophysical and geological data in the Qinling orogenic belt, we find that since Mesozoic-Cenozic eras, particularly late-geological time, as a result of continuous intracontinental subduction beneath the Qinling orogen by the North China block (NCB) southward and the Yangtze block (YZB) northward, the present Hinterland fault-bounded fold zone (HLZ) and North Qinling thick-skinned imbricated thrust zone (NQZ), owing to the lithosphere of the South Qinling zone (SQZ) wedging into that of the NQZ, has a superimposed and thickened lithosphere and is simultaneously in initial delamination period. In contrast, the SQZ is undergoing delamination and underplating to cause mass-energy recycling between crust and mantle, and around the Foping region probably developing a new plume. In addition, between southern and northern as well as internal lithospheric boundaries of the Qinling orogen also accompany intensive lithospheric strike-slip faulting with different properties to lead to lateral mass transfer. Finally, we probe and discuss geodynamic implication of the coexistence of the thickened lithosphere and a large-scale tectonic delamination as well as strike-slip faulting.
