The River Terrace Response to the Connection of Hetao and Yinchuan Basins along the Gangdeer Mountains, North Ordos
located in the northwest margin of the Ordos Plateau
is a key area for understanding the formation and evolution of the drainage system in response to neotectonic movement. Two terraces (T-1 and T-2) composed of fluviallacustrine deposits have been formed along the west piedmont of the Gangdeer Mountains. Dating of T-2 yields ages of 82.23±9.88 ka (OSL)
116.76±11.41 ka (OSL) and 467±124 ka (ESR) for the upper
middle and lower deposit cropout
respectively. The longitudinal profile of both terraces indicates an arch-form
high in the middle of the Gangdeer Mountains and low in the area adjacent to Hetao and Yinchuan basins
suggesting the effects of mountain uplift. Lakes coexisting with rivers in the Middle to Late Pleistiocene
gradually shrank as the Gangdeer Mountains were uplifted along the Zhuozi Mountains Fault Zone (mainly along the Eastern Piedmont Fault of Gangdeer Mountains) and the zone of uplift propagated northward. Eventually
the rivers gradually prevailed over the lakes
leading to formation of the Yellow River
and its two terraces and their fluvio-lacustrine deposits.
