In this paper,the morphogenesis,stratigraphic sequences and dates of the coral reefs in the middle and north parts of the South China Sea are discussed,the position of the distributary regions of Cenozoic coral reefs in plate tectonics,the relationships of coral-reef evolutionary characteristics and dates with sea-basin spreading.Neogene sea-water transgression and Quaternary global climate-eustatic fluctuation are expounded and proved,and the latitudinal variation of the distribution of coral reefs in various geologic times are summed up.
