Apatite Fission track dating and thermal history modeling have been carried out from 12 granite samples collected from mountains surrounding the Junggar Basin to investigate the uplifting-exhumation processes of mountains.Analyses results reveal significant discrepancy in patterns of uplifting-exhumation processes among the Tianshan,East and West Junggar mountains.Combined with samples locations,it was suggested that there probably have been at least three phases of cooling events throughout surrounding mountains of Junggar Basin since Late Triassic.The event initiated during the Late Triassic to early Jurassic was simply limited to the East Junggar mountain,and the Middle-late Cretaceous(~115~95Ma)cooling event,however,had been demonstrated by roughly all samples all over the surrounding mountains.During the early Paleocene(~60~50Ma)northern Junggar mountains had been predominantly uplifted and exhumed.The Neoeene(since~25Ma)cooling event was only recorded by samples collected from southeastern Junggar basin(Bogeda mountains),probably due to the far-field effect of the Indo-Eurasian collision,suggesting that the east and west Junggar mountains have been staying relative stable during this time period.
