| Zusammenfassung |
| The Lo River fault
near Tam Dao, North Vietnam, is a young, right-lateral, normal fault which
has been active throughout the Quaternary. Rates of dextral slip range
between 1 and 2 mm/yr whereas rates of uplift can be estimated roughly at
0.1–1 mm/yr. The drainage deflection and arrangement of shutter ridges
suggest 1.5–2.0 km of dextral offset during the past 1–2 millions of
years (m. y.), and the height of the youngest faceted spurs averages at
170 m. Analysis of morphometric parametres of the mountain front at Tam
Dao indicates that this segment shows properties typical for nearly
rectilinear, young normal scarps that belong to class I or II of relative
tectonic activity and that are capable of generating strong earthquakes in
the future. |
