Abstract:Zhengyiguan fault belt crosses the northern area of Helanshan mountain,and it is a regionaly great fracture with a long-term activity.Based on the interpretation of air and satellite photoes at a largescale,field investigation data and 14C dating,this paper discusses and analyses the plane distribution range,active way and active intensity since Quaternary,the latest active time and paleoearthquakes etc.of this fault belt.The newest activity of Zhengyiguan fault belt is intensive and obvious.Since Quaternary,the fault shows apparent left-lateral slip.The faulted geomorphology shows the maximum distance of horizontal dislocation is 18 00-2000m,and the minimum is 10-20 m.There exist two paleoearthquake traces at Maohudugeyinggou and Putaoqnanzizou,it is estimated that the paleoearthquakes occurred about 6000 years ago.
