STUDY ON THE THRUST SYSTEM WITH REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES IN HELANSHAN DISTRICT

The reflective spectral values of the major geologic bodies in Helanshan District were measured, the TM false color images were interpreted and a field investigation was made. Then the interpretation keys of thrust system on the TM images were set up. As a result of above the author considers that in the study area occurs a the range of the duplex isn’t less than 8000 km², and the thrusted distance is more than 50 km. This new conclusion will be of great geologic significance for the exploration of coal fields.
