The tectonic activities at the bottom and surrounding the sedimentary basin will inevitably lead to changes in the sedimentary filling characteristics and evolution of the basin. These changes serve as records of the sedimentary strata's response to tectonic activities. Based on logging interpretation and outcrop data, the sedimentary evolution of the Middle and Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous in the Ordos Basin was analyzed through paleogeography and sedimentary facies restoration. The results indicate that the southern part of the basin developed multi-phase depositional systems, including alluvial fan, river-delta-lake, and desert phases. There was a sedimentary divergence from east to west, with the sedimentary center migrating from east to west. During this period, the basin was primarily influenced by the Yanshan Movement, with strong tectonic activities occurring around it. Consequently, a tectonic pattern emerged within the basin, characterized by uplifting and tilting in the east and sinking and depression in the west. The intense tectonic activities at the western edge of the basin also led to the development of an intralittoral foreland basin at the southwestern edge during the Late Jurassic Fenfanghe Stage. Additionally, multiple sets of molasse formations and unconformity contacts were present during the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous periods. Based on these insights, a model map of the Middle and Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous tectono-sedimentary evolution has been established. The occurrence of these sedimentary events serves as a record of the basin's response to the early and middle stages of the Yanshan Movement, proving a close relationship between sedimentary evolution and the uplift of the Qinling-Qilian Mountain orogenic belt and the Lvliang Mountains. These insights not only complement and improve the theory of tectonic-sedimentary response in the southern basin during the Yanshan Movement but also have practical significance for the exploration and development of mineral resources such as oil, gas, and uranium in the southern basin.
