Abstract:Soil radon measurement is mainly used to detect the location, occurrence, nature and activity of faults. It is also used in earthquake monitoring and early warning. Combining with CSAMT measurement, it can complement and confirm each other. In this paper, three survey lines are set up in Xueye section of Tongyedian-Sunzu fault to conduct soil radon measurement and CSAMT measurement respectively, and groundwater samples are taken near the radon anomaly zone inferred by the survey lines to conduct radon measurement. Through analyzing the distribution characteristics of radon anomaly zone of each survey line, combining with the interpretation results of apparent resistivity section generated by CSAMT measurement inversion, it is inferred that Tongyedian-Sunzu fault is formed in Xueye area. Several nearly parallel secondary faults show the rule that with the distance from the main fault, the tectonic stress gradually decreases, the activity intensity is weaker, and the radon anomaly amplitude is weaker. In this study, the combination of soil radon measurement and CSAMT measurement has achieved good results, which can be widely used in all kinds of geological exploration, especially in the exploration of active faults.
