Abstract

Abstract:

The study of fault activities since the late Miocene in the shelf area of the Qiongdongnan Basin helps us understand its tectonic evolution. Such study plays an important role for the safety evaluation of drilling platform, oceaneering and regional stability evaluation. In this paper, the fault characteristics in the Qiongdongnan Basin are analyzed with statistics and the throw-depth (T-Z plots) to quantitatively analyze the fault activities in the region, and to discuss the causes of fault activity change. The faults in the study area were growth faults, the strike was mainly concentrated in the NWW, and most faults ceased in the Late Miocene period. Our quantitative results show that the fault activities changed in the Late Miocene period (5.5 Ma). The value of fault throw in the south part of the study area was much larger than that in the north. Based on the above results, we propose that the faults have been affected by tectonic stress in the process of growth, and the fault activities changed at the end of the late Miocene, from inverse fault to positive fault. The Red River Fault Zone played an important role in the tectonic evolution of the Qiongdongnan Basin, and the controlling factor of this change may be due to the tectonic reversal of the Red River Fault Zone. The reversal of the strike-slip motion of the Red River Fault Zone in 5.5 Ma was coupled with the change of the fault activities and the reverse of the faults in the study area.

Key words: Qiongdongnan Basin, Late Miocene, fault activity, T-Z plots, Red River Fault Zone
