Abstract:: The Longxian-Baoji Fault Zone is located in the northeast edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Block and belongs to the southernmost segment of the arc fault belt in the southwest edge of the Ordos Block.To compare the activity of the Qishan-Mazhao Fault in the south of the Longxian-Baoji Fault Zone with the activty of the Guguan-Guozhen Fault in the north,we study the geochemical features of the soil gas CO₂ in the faults.Six survey profiles for surveying CO₂ are deployed across the two faults and two periods of observation are carried out.We obtain 150 observed values of CO₂ component concentrations.In addition,we collect 60 CO₂ samples for stable carbon isotopic composition measurements.We find that the intensity(1.56-2.70)of CO₂ activity in the Qishan-Mazhao Fault is greater than that(1.73-1.75)in the Guguan-Guozhen Fault.And the source of the CO₂ in the Qishan-Mazhao Fault is closer to the end member of the deep materials.This suggests that the connectivity of the underground structures of the Qishan-Mazhao Fault is better and the fault's locking degree is lower.Meanwhile,the gas activity in the Guguan-Guozhen Fault is weaker and the fault's locking degree is higher.Thus,the earthquake risk in this fault zone is higher.
