According to a detailed study of Early Proterozoic extensional structures on the eastern margin of Northern China Platform and comparison with the metamorphic core complex, an uplift-bedding slide structural model has been put forward. The model generally occurs before large-scale contractive orogeny. Regional extension results in mantle uplifting, thus bringing about magma upwelling or basement uplift. Sequentially, the overlying cover begins to slide due to gravity. The model consists of the core uplift, cover and detachment ductile shear zone between the core and cover. The core uplift is often a magma uplift or basement uplift. In the cover, there occurs a bedding slide (detachment) structure system which includes the basal main slide plane (detachments) and inner secondary slide planes as well as rheid fold layers and foliated zones between the slide planes. The slide planes in the cover have the characteristics of normal sliding near the core and reverse sliding in the front. The reverse sliding is characterized by slide stacking.
