Abstract:
Nankou-Sunhe fault is one of most importance active faults in Beijing plain and one part of Bohai Bay-Zhangjiakou fault belts. This paper builds magnetic polarity chronology of borehole sedimentary strata based on magnetic stratigraphy and sedimentology with drilling and paleomagnetism and
14C samples testing, analyses and discusses the active features of NankouSunhe fault in the north segment since Quaternary period. The research indicates that:the fault activity changed from high to low intensity in the early stage of early Pleistocene(2.58-0.99 Ma)and turned into high intensity in the late stage of early Pleistocene (0.99-0.78 Ma), from strong to low intensity again in the Middle Pleistocene (0.78-0.126Ma), and then from low to high again intensity (0.126 Ma-present). This active feature is consistent with west mountain of Beijing uplift which shows the characteristics of high-low-high intensity.
