- Abstract:
- The North-South Seismic Belt(NSSB)distributed through the mainland China have been paid a great deal of attention for a long term because of its huge scale and very frequent activity of big earthquake.However,where does the NSSB extend and end?Why?All of these questions concern the more important issues such as the possibility to understand the features,the geodynamic process and mechanism of big earthquake in the NSSB better.On the other hand,there are a series of large scale strike-slip active faults in the border area between mainland China and Southeast Asia,the southern segment of NSSB,such as Dien Bien Phu Fault.The survey and study related to Dien Bien Phu Fault were no so much in the past at home and abroad,but more and more attention has been attracted to the issues such as the status,the role of the Dien Bien Phu Fault,the possible relationships among the Dien Bien Phu Fault,Red River Fault and Xiaojiang Fault since the phenomenon of the large scale clockwise rotation movement and deformation around the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis revealed by GPS observation that take the Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang-Dien Bien Phu Fault system as outer limitation.Based on the review on the studies about the formation and evolution of regional geotectonic framework,the kinematic and dynamic characters of fault activity in late Cenozoic,and the relation between the active situation on the surface and the medium property in the deep,and combining with the studies accumulated in the past,we proposed that the Dien Bien Phu Fault could be taken as the southern end of the NSSB.
