英文摘要A suture is a tectonic boundary that separates two plates. It varies in size and appearance in different types of orogenic belts. In this study, based on the definition of suture and suture interface, we present several examples of classic orogenic belts and discuss the deformation of the suture interface and the implications to the analysis of the tectonic framework of the orogenic belt and associated sedimentary basins. The decollement formed in the subduction stage is a high strain bond without physical thickness, and it is kept at the bottom of the accretionary complex when the collision happens. Because this surface strictly separated the basins with provenance connections to the upper and lower plates, it would be much convenient to deal with the provenance study if it is regarded as the suture interface. The ophiolitic belt, high-pressure metamorphic belt, and major fault can indicate the approximate location of a suture. Still, they cannot be regarded as the exact indicator of suture interface. The decollement was almost flat in the subduction stage, but its successor, the suture interface, can be deformed by thrust and strike-slip faults at and after the moment of collision. In classic orogenic belts such as the Alps, the Himalayas, and the Eastern Junggar, the suture interface had experienced long-distance thrust towards the foreland, coupled with folding deformation. It leads to the result that the suture interface exposed as a complicated cross-finger shape on the surface after the weathering and erosion and even expose multiple times due to the appearance of klippen and tectonic windows. The suture interface naturally exhibits Z-shape in the opposite subduction system and develops a more complicated structure after the deformation and collision. In the Sulu-Dabie orogenic belt, multiple-stage deformation, especially the strike-slipe fault that cut the whole orogenic belt and the suture interface into separate blocks, was applied to the original simple suture interface, which significantly modified the outcropped suture interface at the surface. The complex structure of the suture interface must be a serious consideration when it comes to analyzing the framework of the orogenic belt, especially with sedimentary tectonic tools. A wrong suture interface could lead to a wrong tectonic interpretation of the sedimentary basin.
