Abstract: On the basis of geomorphological, geological and geophysical studies as well as observations of seismic activities this report tries to show the existence of a giantic active deep-fault belt consisting of a system of horsts and grabens and stretching over eastern China.From the analysis of the structures, structural surfaces and elongation of this tectonic belt, as well as the studies of deposits, the tectonic belt under investigation may be considered as a result of the action of isostatic adjusment occurred after Yanshan movement, namely, a tracking fault belt of intense differential vertical movement predominated by tensional shear.As the belt exerts its control on sedimentary fades, draingage system and igneous activities-especially the existence of the ultrabasic rock belt, it may serve as an indicator of ore-searching and a reminder of the presence of a tectono-seismic belt as well.

摘要： 本文从地貌、地质、地球物理和地震活动等方面,论证了一条由地垒、地堑系组成的、纵贯中国东部的巨型活动性深断裂带。 这是一条以张扭性为主、差异升降强烈的追踪断裂带。它控制着沉积岩相、地貌水系和岩浆活动,尤其是作为一条超基性岩带,可为寻找有关矿产提供标志;同时也是一条构造地震带。
