Abstract

Detailed field investigation on river terraces was carried out in Hequ,Heiykou,Yanshuiguan,and Hukou along the Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge of the Yellow River. Three terrace staircases and one strath were found in the Hequ area. The strath was formed during the Neogene(Tangxian Age)and hence is named Tangxian Strath,whereas the terraces were formed during the Quaternary based on the overlapped aeolian deposits. The altitude of the Tangxian Strath is about 1000m(150m above local modern Yellow River). Heights of three terraces above local modern Yellow River are 110m,80m and 12m. Development of five terrace staircases below the Tangxian Strath was also found in the Heiyukou area. The Tangxian Strath is higher on the western bank and lower on the eastern bank and has an altitude ranging from 940m to 970m. The heights of these five terraces above modern Yellow River are 130m,80m,50m,12m,and 4m. Six terrace staircases are present in the Yanshuiguan area. The heights of these terraces above local modern Yellow River are 180m,130m,95m,50m,20m,and 4m. Eight terrace staircases were counted in the Hukou area. The heights of river terraces in this area are 260m,210mm,180m,120m,80m,60m,35m,and 15m. In both Yanshuiguan and Hukou areas,all the terraces were formed during the Quaternary. Stratigraphic studies at the Hukou area indicate that the topmost terrace is overlain by a layer of loess which is about 110m in thickness. Oriented loess samples were also collected from the highest terrace in the Hukou area. Twelve paleosols were counted,and L13 is recognized in the lowest part of the section. Magnetostratigraphic analysis indicates that the terrace was formed around 1.1Ma B.P. Three stages of the Yellow River can be divided during the development of the river terraces and Tangxian Strath along the Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge. Firstly,Ordos Block experienced a long stable phase before 3.3Ma B.P.,when the Tangxian Strath formed. Dominant processes of the Yellow River during this stage was lateral cutting with minimal downcutting. The second stage was during 3.3Ma B.P. to 1.1Ma B.P. The stable Ordos Block was probably disrupted,and the Yellow River experienced a slight downcutting. After 1.1Ma,the Yellow River suffered significant downcutting. The Yellow River terrace about 1.1 Ma and the Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge were formed due to a quick uplift of the Ordos Block during this period.
