Abstract:Controlled source audio magnetotelluric method has played an important role in surveying cracks of Dongfenghuang villages in Ancheng town of Pingyin county. It has an obvious geophysical anomaly. The hidden faults which have relationship with the formation of ground fissures were guessed, and the origin of the ground cracks are analyzed as well. According to field investigation and interviews, the supposed geophysical results can fit the facts well. This method can be widely used to study geological hazards in the field of engineering geophysical exploration.
