近30年（1987—2016）来，中国的软沉积物变形构造、地震岩、震积岩及古地震研究，取得了很大的进展和成绩。但是，在国内中文期刊中已发表的约140篇文章和已出版的一些专著中，几乎都把具软沉积物变形构造的岩层当作地震岩。可喜的是，中国石油大学（华东）的老师们和学生们，对山东青岛灵山岛下白垩统中的软沉积物变形构造的研究，却有多种不同的观点，呈现出了一种活跃的学术气氛。笔者等的看法是：（1）软沉积物变形构造是一种沉积构造，它有多种成因，它是一个很好的沉积学和地质学术语，应继续地和更广泛地使用下去。（2）地震岩是专指由地震引起的具软沉积物变形构造的岩层，它是具多成因的软沉积物变形构造的岩层的一种，不能把所有的具软沉积构造的岩层都当作地震岩。有的地质学家建议废弃地震岩这一术语。（3）震积岩是“seismites”（地震岩）的误译，不宜再继续使用。（4）由于地震岩和震积岩这两个术语在国内外已使用多年，要废弃它们或不再继续使用它们，应得到国内外的多数地质学家的同意才行。%During the past 30 years (1 987-201 6),a great progress has been made in researches of soft-sediment deformation structures (SSDS),seismites and palaeoearthquakes in China.However,the research thought of this academic field is not open-minded.It is almost with one viewpoint,i.e.,almost all the papers published in journals of China considered the beds with SSDS as seismites.On the other hand, the authors are very glad to learn that the professors and students of China University of Petroleum (East China) have proposed different academic viewpoints on the origin of SSDS in Lingshan Island,Qingdao, Shandong Province,China.It is a very active academic atmosphere.The authors’ideas are as follows:(1 ) The SSDS are sedimentary structures with multi-origin.The term “SSDS” is a good sedimentary and geological term and should be utilized continually.(2) The term “seismites” is a term which is definitely assigned to the beds with SSDS induced by earthquakes.It is one type of the beds with SSDS.It is not equal to SSDS.Some geologists suggested obsoleting the term “seismites”.(3)“Zhenjiyan” (震积岩) is a mistranslated term of “seismites” and should not be uesd any more.(4) Since the “seismites” and“Zhenjiyan” have been used for a long time in China and other countries, these problems should be diacussed and determined by geologists in China and other countries.
