It is a inner-land sea basin formed during Late Quaternary time. In this basin there are numerous active faults and many major earthquakes have occurred. Its major active tectonic zones are the northern section of the NE trending Yingkou-Weifang fault zone, Miaoxibei-Huanghekou-Linyi fault zone, and NW striking Beijing-Penglai fault zone, which intersect at the center of the Bohai Sea basin. These tectonic zones subdivide the sea area into four secondary neotectonic areas, which are subject to the recent tectonic stress field. Using the data of 38 focal plane solutions and 75 drill stress measurements, and the result of numerical modeling, we analyze the recent tectonic stress field of this region. Our result shows that this stress field is characterized by dominant horizontal or nearly horizontal stress. Its compressive stress is in the direction NE60°～90°, and the tensional stress is in NS-NW30°. There are some differences of principal stress between secondary tectonic areas. A remarkable feature of the Bohai Sea basin is a conjugate shear rupture zone, which develops in the crust and is the major seismogenic structure.展开更多

The obtained result fills the gap in seismotectonic research of Large Bohai Sea earthquake area of North China. The earthquake area is located in the eastern part of Cenozoic rifted basin of the Bohai Gulf, along the intersection zone between the NNE-trending Yingkou-Weifang fault zone and the NW-trending Beijing-Penglai fault zone. In the early-Tertiary fault-depression stage, three sets of faults, the NNE-, NW-, and W-E-trending faults, were developed in the upper crust in the area. They are listric and planar in the form, of normal fault character and mostly the major faults in faulted depressions. In the fault-depression stage since late Tertiary, the preexisting faults have undergone movement to different extent. Meanwhile, a new NE-trending Huanghekou (Yellow River Mouth)-Miaoxibei fault zone was developed. The focal faulting of the M 7.4 earthquake, striking to N45°E and dipping to SE, is nearly vertical, with dextral strike-slip nature, and buried down to depth of 15～34 km. The seismogenic fault for the large earthquake is not the Yingwei fault, but the newly generated Huanghekou-Miaoxibei fault.展开更多

The results show that Tanlu strike-slip fault experienced three stages of strike-slip activities in the Cenozoic,and the transition from left-lateral strike to right-lateral strike-slip was completed at the end of the fourth member of the Shahejie Formation. The strike-slip faults in the Bohai Sea have the characteristics of multi-stage and multi-strength stress superposition. According to the superimposed forms of different strengths, different properties and different ratios, they can be divided into three major genetic types,extension and strike-slip superimposition, extension and extrusion superimposition, extrusion and strike-slip superimposition, and fifteen typical structure patterns. Affected by multiple changes in the direction and rate of subduction of the Cenozoic Pacific plate, the difference between the Cenozoic extension and the strike-slip in the Bohai Sea area leads to the diversity of the fault system and the zoning of the depression structure. According to superimposition features of faults, the Bohai Sea area can be divided into the Liaoxi S-type weak strike-slip zone, Liaodong braided strong strike-slip zone, Boxi conjugated medium strike-slip zone, Bodong brush structure medium strike-slip zone and Bonan parallel strong strike-slip zone. These zones differ in oil and gas accumulation features.展开更多

The Liaoxi (辽西) extensional fault system consists of a series of NNE-and NE-trending segments that were linked through relay ramps. The fault hanging walls are characterized by a series of en echelon synclines with axial traces sub-parallel to the faults. The synclines are doubly plunging located on the hanging wall of normal faults, with the strata dip sub-parallel to the fault. These folds result from along-strike displacement variations of the individual fault seg- ments, as well as from extensional fault-related folding. In the study area, the synclines are separated by transverse intra-basin highs and relay ramps that formed where segment linkage occurred. These hanging wall synclines and their relation to fault displacement variations indicate that they are formed by extensional fault-related fold.展开更多
