Abstract

Abstract

Twelve samples of tectonites, metasediments and granites taken from the western Sichuan Plateau were dated in this study by apatite fission track dating method. The results are used to reconstruct uplifting history and fault activity of the Longmenshan tectonic belt in eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. It is shown that the recent activity of the two major boundary faults:the Wenchuan-Maowen fault and the Yingxiu-Beichuan fault, occurred in early Pleistocene (FT ages of 1.2~1.3 Ma); the Miyaluo fault developed in the interior of the plateau was strongly active in middle Pleistocene (around 0.5 Ma); the back Longmenshan tectonic zone started to uplift in Miocene; and the interior of the plateau began rapid uplift in latest Pliocene to Middle Pleistocene. The uplifting of the plateau caused formation of deep-incised river morphology.
