Abstract

Abstract:

In this paper, we review latest research on the Zhongnan-Liyue Fault Zone (ZLFZ), and then analyze the spatial distribution and tectonic deformation feature of the ZLFZ based on the geophysical data including topographic, seismic, gravity, and magnetic data. The results show that the ZLFZ in the South China Sea Basin has obvious north-south segmentation characteristics. The north section, which is between northwest sub-basin and east sub-basin, is a NNW trend narrow zone with a width of ~16 km from (18°00'N, 115°30'E) to (17°30'N, 116°30'E). The south section, which is between southwest sub-basin and east sub-basin, is a NNW trend wide zone with a width of 60~80 km from the east of the Zhongsha Bank to the west of the Liyue Bank. The main fault of the ZLFZ is NNW trend along the seamounts’ ridge of Zhongnan. The ZLFZ of transition region is NNE trend from the north section to the south section. On the eastern and western sides of the ZLFZ, the sub-basin’s sedimentary thickness and oceanic crust thickness are obviously different. We speculate that the ZLFZ plays an important role in the geological structure of sub-basin. According to the change of crustal structure, we suspect that the ZLFZ is at least a crustal fracture zone.

Key words: South China Sea Basin, Zhongnan-Liyue Fault Zone, spatial distribution, tectonic deformation
