The existence of Megamonsoon was proved by Euramerican researchers' researches.Whether there was Megamonsoon and how it influenced in Upper Yangtze area,the northern fringe of the Triassic Tethys Ocean,is worth of close attention.A serial of sedimentary evidences revealed upper Yangtze area was strongly affected by the Triassic Megamonsoon,which was mainly reflected in: 1)varves in the Lower Triassic Feixianguan Formation;2)tempestite in the first segment of Feixianguan Formation;3)Late Triassic Carnian carbonate productivity crisis and 4)clear tree ring of fossil wood in Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation.The sedimentary records in Upper Yangtze Area showed that megamonsoon was most intense in the Early Triassic period and Late Triassic Carnian Time.It's believed in this paper that the Gaia effect caused by the mass extinction at P / T boundary and the strong tectonic activity occurring during Carnian time in Tethys Region were the dominant factors to induce the Triassic megamonsoon.
