Abstract

Seismogenic structure of the Gonghe M S7.0 earthquake on Apr.26,1990 in Qinghai province is studied by using data on geology,seismology and deformation.It is possible that the Wayuxiangka Lagan blind thrust fault with trend of NW NWW is the seismogenic fault for the Gonghe M S7.0 earthquake in 1990.Ground deformation by the Gonghe earthquake is fold upheaval mainly.Therefore,the Gonghe earthquake is a typical “blind fault folding earthquake”.
