Title: Study on the Component Feature and Formation of the Loess along Da-Sha River Reach in the Fuping region
Abstract: Da-sha river reach in Fuping area is located in the middle-north part of the Taihang Mountain.The local loess type is identical with those of the western loess plateau,and is part of the loess plateau stretched eastwards.As the eastern edge of the loess plateau,the loess of this area is complex and diverse,with obviously varied thickness and punctate or sheet distributions.Loess layers with different thickness are piled up widely on terraces along the Sha River and piedmont leeward zones and fault zones rock outcropped areas.Through the sampling and research of the loess section,it is conclude that:the materials of the loess have complex sources,comprising materials transported by northwest wind,and the grains generated form the near-surface.During their accumulation,they were subjected to the affection of water.The accumulation and development of the Fuping loess and paleosol were significantly correlated with Pleistocene climatic variation and were also influenced by local micro-relief and conformation.
