Quaternary Activity and Paleoearthquakes of the Fushan Fault, Shanxi, China by Xiaobing Yan, Yongsheng Zhou, Xuejing Hao, Ruiguo Ren, Xiaoying Sun

“…Based on UAV and field surveys, we found that the Fushan Fault has a surface exposure length of 24 km and displaces Holocene strata. Samples from offset layers within a trench showed that the most recent event occurred within the last 7 ka (i.e., Holocene activity) and that the fault has the potential to generate earthquakes exceeding magnitude 7. …”
