It is the wide fault zone (some hundred km) that has been created in Paleozoic or Precambrian. The series of morphostrucures of central type (MCF) or "ring-morphostructures" have been identified here. They are from 500 - 800 km to 20 - 30 km in diameter, and have different structure, age, origin, morphology and geological history. MCT are principal modern structural elements of the earth’s crust and the study on them are producing new geological-geomorphological data and new ideas about structure and evolution of the region. MCT was created in Precambrain-Phanerozoic and experienced repeatedly tectonic-magmatic activation during their long-term history. Amur -Songhua-Huanghe Lineament is a seismic active linear structure both in China and in Russia, especially in the areas of intersections with deep faults of gigantic MCT of East Asia. The authors propose that a continental margin extension process, continuing from Paleozoic (Precambrian?) is a major factor in the morphostructural development of the Amur-Songhua-Huanghe Lineament. The received materials may be used for investigations in prospecting geology and geomorphology, studies on natural resources and for decision of other applied problems.展开更多

Field data collection was followed by a series of physicochemical and mineralogical tests on the clay samples. Results show that the clay layers, which range in thickness from 11 - 120 cm, exhibit gray, yellowish, or greenish colors. From a physicochemical perspective, these clay layers are found to be basic with a pH ranging from 8.5 for the higher Hama2 layer to 7.6 for the lower Hama1 layer. The sum of exchangeable bases (S) is medium to high with higher values in the Hama1 layer (53.45 meq/100g) and lower values in the Hama3 layer (17.09 meq/100g). Similarly, the cation exchange capacity (CEC) varies from 62.32 meq/100g for the higher Hama1N4 clay layer to 35.6 meq/100g for the lower Hama1N3 clay layer. Mineralogically, the clay materials are primarily composed of smectites, with illite, kaolinite, calcite, quartz, feldspar, hematite, and goethite also present. This study emphasizes the versatility of clay in various industries and scientific domains. It is known for its impermeability, plasticity, and fossil-preserving capabilities, making it a valuable material for economic, practical, and academic applications.展开更多

The compiled morphostructural map （ scale 1 ： 1000000） shows a three-level hierarchical structure of blocks, boundary zones, and nodes. The identified nodes are classified with the pattern-recognition algorithm CORA-3 into those that are prone to generate M≥5.0 earthquakes and those that are not. Some of the earthquake-prone nodes coincide with epicenters of M ≥ 5.0 earthquakes that have occurred ; others may coincide with such events in the future.展开更多
