It shows that the most dangerous fault segments for strong earthquakes in the future include: segments B and A of the southern boundary fault of the Yangyuan basin, the southern boundary fault of the Xuanhua basin, the east segment of the southern Huaian fault and the east segment of the northern YanggaoTianzhen fault. The most dangerous area is YangyuanShenjing basin, the second one is TianzhenHuaianXuanhua basin and the third dangerous areas are WanquanZhangjiakou and northeast of Yuxian to southwest of Fanshan.展开更多

This deformation zone has two remarkable oppositely vergence arcuate fold\|and\|thrust systems (Kepingtage and Kashi\|Atushi fold\|and\|thrust belts) reaching from east of Keping to west of Kashi. This shape is manifested by structure, topography and seismicity. From north to south, this deformation zone is characterized by four main kinematic elements: (1) a hanging\|wall block (Maidan fault and Tuotegongbaizi\|Muziduke thrust system) that represents the Cenozoic reactivation of a late Paleozoic thrust system; (2) an imbricated thrust stack (Kepingtage\|Tashipeshake thrust system) where slices of Tarim platform sediments are thrust south toward the basin; (3) the Kashi\|Atushi fold\|and\|thrust system where thrusting and folding verge toward the Tian Shan; (4) a foot\|wall block (Tarim craton) that dips gently northwest below the sediment\|filled southern Tian Shan basin and generally has little internal deformation.展开更多

The dividing line between the two units lies fromBaiyun’ebo on the west to Chifeng on the east. Geophysical studies demonst-rate that there are two gravity gradient zones trending ENE in the northernmargin of the North China Platform. The northern zone is a linear anomalyzone of--50 to--45 mGal extending from Baiyun’ebo in the west to theeast of Chifeng. The southern zone, 60--70km wide, lies from Guyang throughJining to Longhua in the east and its amplitude of gravity gradient amountsto 60 mGal. Field geological survey indicates that there are two main faultedzones. Our recent investigations suggests that there are two Proterozoic riftsof E-W trend in the northern margin of the North China Platform.展开更多

In addition to these three belts, there are two nascent arc tectonic belts developed in its fore\|deep depression, the Kashi depression in the northwest Tarim basin, which is the northward propagation of the arc tectonics of northeast Pamir.The south Pamir is an ancient folded belt, composed of the Proterozoic metamorphic layers and igneous complex. It was pushed northward since the collision between the India and Asia, and uplifted since the end of the early Tertiary. The elevation of the Plateau is 4800～5300m, and several intermontane basins distributed in the plateau. At its northeast boundary is the Kalakorum right lateral strike slip fault. Strong strike slip earthquakes occurred along this fault. In the hinterland of the plateau, several normal faulting earthquakes occurred,which are consistent with the extensional dynamic environment of the south Pamir. Deep earthquakes occurred under the 70km depth crust of south Pamir. The N—S cross section of the focal depth show that the earthquake occurred within the south Pamir crust are lower than 70km, and the deep earthquakes with depth of 100～200km occurred in the crystal basement of Tarim basin which are under\|thrusting southward into the root of the south Pamir.展开更多
