摘要
Sedimentary-geomorphologic method is an effective way to study the kinematic laws of active fault. From the great amount of existing researchs, the main contents and progress in the research are summarized in three aspects as kinematic characteristics of active fault with vertical movement, horizontal movement and the vertical-horizontal eompositing movement. Some key techniques could be used in the sedimentary-geomorphologic method in active fault research in future are also discussed.
