The distribution of red beds in basins formed during different stages of crustal movements. The red bed layer was identified from 77 National Geological maps (1:1,000,000) and the basins formed in different stages of crustal movements were extracted from the National Geotectonic Map produced by the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, then two layers were overlapped on ArcGIS 10.2 (http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis-for-desktop). T-Triassic, J-Jurassic, K-Cretaceous, E-Paleogene, N-Neogene.
