An analysis of the geophysical field shows that there are several nearly east—west structures in the Sanjiang (i.e. three rivers: the Jinsha, Nujiang and Lancang rivers) orogenic zone. These east—west structures are buried and deep lying, showing characteristics of the long wave-length and low amplitude in the Bouguer gravity anomaly map. They are reflected as a series of nearly east—west faults, plutons and ore deposits on the geological map, and as a number of shallow-buried parallel structure zones on the remote sensing images. Based on data of geology, geophysics and seismic velocity, it is suggested that these east—west structures may be the rheomorphic structures of deep materials squeezed out southeastward from the blocks after the collision orogeny of the Qinghai—Tibet Plateau. Or they may have resulted from the re-activation of the extensional or old structures in the compression—collision and strike-slip settings of the Sanjiang orogenic zone. They may have the same formation mechanism as the north—south extensional structures (rifts) in the southern Qinghai—Tibet Plateau.
