文摘

The spatial variations of soil gas in the northern edge of West Qinling Fault were investigated based on the field measurement of radon concentration. Radon concentrations highlighted a decreasing gradient from the middle segment to NW and SE along the fault and the fault zone was divided into three segments. We observed that the measured radon data showed a moderate positive correlation with relative fault activity. The hazard segment area was marked according to the relationship between the spatial concentration anomaly values of soil-gas radon and the seismotectonic background.
