The boundaries between them are the Dagoudian mountain spur, the Delingshan Mountain spur and the step zone at Xiaoshetai Gully mouth, respectively. The segments are independent for seismic activity. However, it is possible that joint ruptures between Wujiahe and Wujumengkou Dongfeng Village segments and between Dashetai and Ulan Hudong segments may occur.展开更多

Several paleoseismic events have occurred along the fault since 30 ka BP. Pa- leoearthquake studies have been advanced by digging new trenches and combining the results with the findings of previous studies. Comprehensive analyses of the trenches revealed that 6 paleoseismic events have occurred on the Kuoluebulong segment since approximately 30 ka BP within the following successive time periods: 19.01-37.56, 18.73, 15.03-15.86, 10.96, 5.77-6.48, and 2.32 ka BP. The analyses also revealed that 6 paleoseismic events have occurred on the Dashetai segment since approximately 30 ka BP, and the successive occurrence times are 29.07, 19.12-28.23, 13.92-15.22, 9.38-9.83, 6.08--8.36, and 3.59 ka BP. The results indicate that quasi-periodic recurrences occurred along the two segments with an approximate 4 000 a mean recurrence interval. The consistent timing of the 6 events between the two segments indicates that the segments might conform to the cascade rupturing model between the two segments. As recorded by a large number of Chinese historical texts, the latest event on the Kuoluebulong segment is the historical M 8.0 earthquake occurred on November U, 7 BC.展开更多
