Abstract: The Weihe Fault is an important blind fault in Weihe Basin and controls the formation,evolution and seismicity of Weihe Basin. The deep seismic reflection survey results show that the fault is not a deep crustal fault; it is located right below the C layer at about 15km depth and cuts through the crystalline basement and the C layer,causing a throw of about 4km between the two sides of crystalline basement. The dip angle at the shallow part of the fault(depth<5km)is big and flattens with depth,and the fault turns to be a listric fault.Shallow seismic survey results show that the dip angle of the Weihe Fault in the middle and deep parts is about 85°; the attitude is different on the two walls of the fault,the footwall is horizontal and the hanging wall is tilting to the south direction; and its dip angle increases quickly.Drilling survey results show that the fault at the shallow part is obviously manifested. The lithology,thickness and attitudes of strata are quite different between the two sides of fault. The attitude on the footwall is horizontal and that on the hanging wall tilts a bit to the fault side. The late Pleistocene displacement is about 4～6m.Trenching results show that the Weihe Fault near ground is still active. Since Holocene epoch it has undergone 3 paleoearthquakes and 1 history earthquake,so it is a Holocene active fault.
