The Puqian-Qinglan fault, located in northern Hainan Province, is closely related to the judgment of the seismogenic structure of the Qiongshan M7½ earthquake in 1605. To accurately determine the latest activity characteristics of this fault, this study, adopting artificial shallow seismic exploration with large-tonnage seismic sources combined with small-spacing cross-well stratigraphic correlation, investigated the sedimentary geological conditions of the Quaternary basalt cover and significantly thick marine sand layers in northern Hainan Province through exploration at Qishantou and Dongzhai villages in the Sanjiang Town, Jiangdong New Area, Haikou. Key results are as follows: (1) the Puqian-Qinglan fault dislocates multiple marker …


Activity Variations Of The Shanzuokou-Sihong Fault Within The Jiangsu Segment Of The Tancheng-Lujiang Fault Zone And Their Origins, Zhang Hao, Li Wei, Li Limei, Yan Yunxiang, Jiang Xin, Wang Jinyan, Zhao Qiguang, Gu Qinping, Xu Hangang Dec 2023

Activity Variations Of The Shanzuokou-Sihong Fault Within The Jiangsu Segment Of The Tancheng-Lujiang Fault Zone And Their Origins, Zhang Hao, Li Wei, Li Limei, Yan Yunxiang, Jiang Xin, Wang Jinyan, Zhao Qiguang, Gu Qinping, Xu Hangang

Coal Geology & Exploration

The Shanzuokou-Sihong fault, having undergone the entire evolutionary process of the Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone, exhibits segmentation during the latest activity epoch. Determining the location and origin of its activity segmentation will provide a significant reference for exploring the activity variations of its branch faults and their origins. This study investigated the activity of the Shanzuokou-Sihong fault using a three-dimensional approach combining field geological surveys, shallow seismic exploration, and cross-well stratigraphic correlation. The results show that the Shanzuokou-Sihong fault is a Late Pleistocene active fault on the east side of the North Maling Mountain and a Middle Pleistocene fault in Xinyi …


Activity Of The Liyang-Nandu Fault In Southern Jiangsu, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Ping, Chen Huogen, Xu Shugang, Gong Xulong, Xu Hangang, Li Limei, Feng Wenli, He Zongnan Dec 2023

Activity Of The Liyang-Nandu Fault In Southern Jiangsu, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Ping, Chen Huogen, Xu Shugang, Gong Xulong, Xu Hangang, Li Limei, Feng Wenli, He Zongnan

Coal Geology & Exploration

Located in the central part of the Sunan Modernization Construction Demonstration Area—one of the areas with the densest population and urban areas and the most developed economy in China, the Liyang-Nandu fault is an important concealed fault with a nearly E-W strike in the Yangtze River Delta in eastern China. This fault serves as an important regional geomorphic and neotectonic boundary. However, there is a lack of systematic research on this fault, and its latest activity era is yet to be ascertained. Using seismic exploration P-waves and S-waves and cross-well stratigraphic correlation, this study investigated the spatial distribution and Quaternary …
