英文摘要Fault activities in sea areas always produce devastative marine geohazards. For marine geohazard assessment, it is important to know the location, geometric structure, and activity regularity of active faults. In this study, highresolution multi -channel seismic and topographic data are used to investigate the exact location, geometric structure and latest activity of the Continental Slope Fault Zone (CSFZ) in the northern South China Sea. The results show that the Qiongdongnan (QDN) segment of the CSFZ is a 194 km long NEE -trending fault zone that developed near the transition of continental shelf and slope. In its geometric structure, the CSFZ (QDN segment) cuts through the Cenozoic basement and breaks upward to near the seafloor with high -angle dip. According to whether it ruptures to the seafloor, it can be divided into eastern and western segments. In the western segment, the fault scarps about 8 similar to 9 m high can clearly be seen on the seafloor. Whereas in the eastern segment, the fault shows a blind characteristic below the seafloor. The analysis of fault throws and expansion indices show that CSFZ (QDN segment) have remained active since the late Pleistocene. Due to the CSFZ is an active fault and geographically adjacent steep slope, which may cause large interpolate landslides, and then leading to destructive tsunamis. As a result, the CSFZ has great seismogenic potential and may produce marine geohazard chain. Thus, it is of great significance to the assessment of marine geohazard chain posed by the CSFZ for improving hazard mitigation.
