Timing of Paleoearthquakes and Seismic Hazard of the Zhuozishan West Piedmont Fault in the Northwestern Ordos Block

The Zhuozishan West Piedmont Fault (ZWPF) is an active normal fault in the northwestern corner of the Ordos Block. Studying the recurrence characteristics of paleoearthquakes is useful for understanding the regional seismic hazard potential. In this study, paleoseismic trench and optically stimulate...
