Abstract

Abstract

Based on the analysis of previous research results, we analysed and summaried the gravel composition, gravel particle size and gravel direction of Mingshan-Qionglai and Danling-Simeng gravel layers related to ancient Qingyi River diversion in southwest of Longmenshan. Moreover, we discussed the characteristics of provenance region, origin and formation of the gravel layer. Combining with the latest survey and measurements to trunk stream terrace of Qingyi River, the distribution, height, structure and age of the terrace were sorted and summarized. We also used the satellite remote sensing image and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to extract tectonic geomorphology and water features, finding that the terrain of Qingyi River basin descends in a cascade manner, the fold passed through it should be earlier than the Quaternary, the terraces of Qingyi River formed in Quaternary can be continuously contrasted, the terrace in Baoxing-Lushan section ever uplifted, that may be caused by the underlying thrust fault. Based on the characteristics of Qingyi River terraces, we made a comprehensive analysis on the system evolution, then put forward that the diversion of the river is caused by the multiple captures of the river, the local uplift at the southwest segment of Longmenshan caused by the blind thrust fault has created good structure conditions.
