Those events occurred at 18.75±.75 ka, 16.97 ±.96 ka, 14.65±.67 ka, 11.82±.69 ka, 9.45±.26 ka, 6. 83±.26 ka, and 4. 50 ±0. 23 ka BP, respectively, and their average recurrence interval is 2375±432 years. From the results of constraining fault displacement and correlation between the sediments in these trenches, we found a complete paleoseismic activity history along the fault segment during this period of time.展开更多
