Coal　and　gas　outburst,　mine　water　inrush,　rock　burst,　roof　fall　and　other　dynamic　geological　disasters　in　coal　mines　have　seriously　threatened　the　coal　mining　safety.　Further　research　on　the　formation　mechanism　and　distribution　law　of　mining　dynamic　geological　disasters　is　the　precondition　and　basic　work　to　ensure　the　safe　production　of　coal　mine.　The　formation　of　dynamic　geological　disasters　in　coal　mines　is　the　result　of　coupling　action　of　the　static　geological　environment　and　the　mining　disturbance.　The　regional　tectonic　setting　determines　the　occurrence　feature　and　dynamic　environment　of　coal　deposits　by　means　of　the　structural　deformation　products,　the　structural　formation　process　and　the　tectonic　stress　field,　and　result　in　the　risk　of　dynamic　geological　disasters.　Based　on　the　cases　study　and　theoretical　analysis,　the　disaster-causing　structure　factors　can　be　summarized　into　six　types:　faults,　folds,　structural　complexity,　tectonic　activity,　coal　deformation-metamorphism,　coal　seam　buried　depth,　etc.,　and　the　different　types　of　structural　factors　have　different　effects　on　different　geological　disasters.　Controlled　by　the　coalfield　tectonic　framework,　the　intensity　of　mining　dynamic　geological　disasters　increases　from　west　to　east　and　from　south　to　north　in　China.　The　large-scale　and　serious-damaged　disasters　mainly　occur　in　the　eastern　coalfield　tectonic　domain,　especially　to　the　east　of　the　secondary-order　structure　belt　of　Daxinganling　Mountain-Taihang　Mountain,　in　the　east-central　part　of　Northeast　China　coal　occurrence　structural　areas,　the　east　part　of　North　China　coal　occurrence　structural　areas　and　the　central　part　of　South　China　coal　occurrence　structural　areas,　and　the　western　part　of　South　China　coal　occurrence　structural　areas　which　is　controlled　by　the　Tethys　geodynamics　system　and　the　Pacific　geodynamics　system.　According　to　the　characteristics　of　disaster-causing　structure　factors　and　dynamic　geological　disasters,　and　combined　with　the　coal　measures　occurrence　and　coal　mining　status,　the　mining　dynamic　geological　disasters　controlled　by　regional　tectonic　setting　can　be　divided　into　three　risk　grades:　grade　I　(low　risk),　grade　II　(medium　risk)　and　grade　III　(high　risk).　Based　on　the　space-time　difference　of　China＇s　coalfield　tectonics,　the　risk　zone　division　of　main　dynamic　geological　disasters　in　coal　mines　is　carried　out　within　the　framework　of　coal　occurrence　structural　units　in　China,　there　are　11　zones　of　grade　Ⅲ　and　seven　zones　of　grade　Ⅱ　in　four　major　coal　occurrence　structural　areas　of　Northeast　China,　North　China,　South　China　and　Northwest　China,　the　rest　belong　to　grade　I　zones　or　unevaluated　areas.　©　2020,　Editorial　Office　of　Journal　of　China　Coal　Society.　All　right　reserved.
