Bounds on the Holocene slip rate of the Haiyuan fault, north-central China

ZHANG, P.

Description :
The AA. measured the offsets of six stream valleys, of 30 to 90 m, along the northwest - southeast trending, left lateral Haiyuan strike - slip fault, in north-central China. Minimum ages of these offsets were determined to estimate lower bounds for the Holocene slip rate. Thus, the average Holocene slip rate of the Haiyuan fault is larger than 6 mm/yr and probably exceeds 7 mm/yr.
