Abstract
The chemical composition of sedimentary rocks is mainly controlled by source rocks. Through examining chemical composition of terrigenous ro cks, the tectonic evolution of a sedimentary basin can be modeled. The Turpan Basin belongs to a continental sedimentary basin and its sourc e rocks are derived from the upper continental crust.
