[13]; black arrows are GPS-derived rates of block motion relative to the stable Western European and Siberian shields [29]. The Shanxi graben fault zone and the Tanlu fault zone divide the North China Block into the Ordos Block, North China Plain, and Ludong-Huanghai Block. The Tangshan–Cixian Nascent Seismic Zone and the Xinxiang–Shangqiu Nascent Seismic Zone divide the North China Plain into three active subblocks: the Taihangshan Subblock, Ji-Lu Subblock, and Yu-Huai Subblock. The black rectangle is the location of Figure 2(a).

The distribution area of three planation surfaces is enclosed by a black-dotted line in North China. The pair of hollow arrows show principal compression or extension stress orientation. All the faults were active during the Quaternary. The green dashed line is the modern Asian summer monsoon limit (Chen et al., 2008).

Regional tectonics north of eastern China (modified from Davis et al., 2001). In the figure, the Yinshan-Yanshan orogenic belt and the Taihang Mountain belt are shown. Abbreviations: CAOB—Central Asian orogenic belt, IMOB—Inner Mongolia orogenic belt, NCC—North China craton, SXG—Shanxi graben system. Location of Figure 2 is shown. The paleo-Pacific plate domain has no precise definition. Generally, it means the initial state of the Pacific plate during syn- or pre–Middle-Early Jurassic time. Thus, in the figure, the west Pacific plate subduction zone includes the present plate domain.

Seismotectonic map of the North China Plain (NCP). (a) The inset map shows a broader tectonic context modified from Shen et al. (2023). The NCP is located between the Zhangjiakou–Bohai fault zone (ZBFZ) to the north, the Qinling–Dabie fault zone (QDFZ) to the south, the Shanxi graben fault zone (SGFZ) to the west, and the Tanlu fault zone (TLFZ) to the east. Two right‐lateral strike‐slip faults within the NCP indicated by dashed lines are the Tangshan–Hejian–Cixian fault zone and the Liaocheng–Lankao fault zone, respectively. The circles represent historical M ≥ 5 earthquakes from 1831 B.C. to A.D. 1969 and M ≥ 5 earthquakes since 1970 from the China Earthquake Network Center (CENC). Focal mechanisms are from the Global Centroid Moment Tensor (Global CMT) Project. (b) Thickness of the unconsolidated sediments adopted from Ma (1989).
