Abstract: Basined on comprehensive prospecting and investigation, the authors have ascertained that the 1679 San-he-Pinggu M = 8 earthquake occurred in the intersection region of active faults having deep-seated structural background. The NE-trending New Xiadian Fault, which was characterized by dextrall tensile-shear dislocation, was the seismogenic fault of the 1679 M = 8 earthquake. It is suggested that the macroscopic epicenter of the earthquake should be located in Pangezhuang area, where the vertical displacement of seismic faul’ was up to 3.16m. According to the average seismic slip rate in this area, and the displacement value of earthequake with a certain magnitude, the recurrence interval of M = 7.5, M=7.0 and M = 8.5 earthquakes in the magistoseismic area of 1679 M = 8 earthquake on Xiadian Fault Zone have been estimated to be 3800,1750, and 800 years (the lower limit), respectively.

摘要： 通过综合探测研究,查明了1679年三河—平谷8级大震是发生在具有深部构造背景的活动断裂交汇区;北东向新夏垫断裂是其发震断裂并呈右旋剪切破裂位错,潘各庄一带垂直位移最大(达3.16米)应为8级地震的宏观震中。由平均地震位错速率及一定震级地震的位错量估计,夏垫断裂带上极震区范围内7.5级、7.0级和6.5级地震的平均重复时间下限值分别为3800年、1750年和800年。
