| Abstract: | Abstract The Changle-Zhao' an fault belt is an important belt bordering the southeast coast of China. It was formed in pre-Mesozoic time and has undergone polyphase activities of different modes ever since. Through a study of the data concerning the Cenozoic strata, volcanism, seismicity, hydrothermal activity and crustal deformation, the characteristics of the neotectonic movement of this fault belt were preliminarily ascertained, the amplitudes and rates of recent faulting in some places were calculated, and the intensities of the activities in various structural basins along the fault zone were compared. Besides, this paper also discusses the main cause for the origin of the Quanzhou-Shantou strong earthquake tectonic zone. |
