文摘
- •
We examined the paleoseismicity of the Langshan Piedmont Fault (LPF).
- •
4 paleo-earthquakes with repeat time of ~ 2450 yr occurred in the past ~ 9810 yr.
- •
The most recent earthquake (MRE) probably took place in the last ~ 1880 yr.
- •
Rupture of the entire LPF could source an earthquake of Mw 7.8.
