The Characteristics of the Faults in Wugui Mountain Area and the Formation and Development of the Fault—Block Uplifted Area[J]. Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis SunYatseni, 1985,24(1):52-62.DOI:
There are three sets of faults developed in Wugui Mountain area
the NE
theNNE and the NW.Effected by the plate collision during the Yanshan period andHimalayan period
natures of the faults have repeatly changed from compression—shear to tension—shear.All the faults have become normal faults during theneotectonic period.The fault-block uplifted area of Wugui Mountain bounded bythree sets of faults in different directions has uplifted intermittently during theneotectonic period
forming five erosion surfaces.The secondary fault-depressionwas formed in late Pleistocene or a little bit earlier.The secondary depressionwithin the Wugui Mountain fault-uplifted area is a thermo-anomalous belt.Re-search on how the three sets of faults cut off each other is of importance in loo-king for new thermal areas.
