Abstract: | Uncertainties are common in the dating of paleoearthquakes. To improve the credibility of the dating of paleoearthquakes, analysis was done on fault activity, sedimentary environment and seismo-geomorphology to investigate paleoearthquakes along the Zemuhe active fault zone. Grouped trenches were excavated near Daqingliangzi, which revealed three palaeoearthquake events aged 160a, 3100a and 5500a~8900a, respectively, including recurrence intervals of about 3000a. Sedimentary processes related to strike-slip fault type earthquakes were discussed, and a sedimentary model was put forward for strike-slip faults at hillsides where drumlin and reverse scarp developed. |
