滁河断裂从古生代以来记录了下扬子地区的动力学特征。该断裂震旦纪—志留纪是滁县—全椒深水盆地与巢县—含山浅水盆地的分界线 ;晚泥盆世—中三叠世其北侧未见沉积 ,南侧表现出由于扬子板块向北俯冲而导致的陆内拉张断陷 ;晚三叠世时成为大别—胶南造山带南侧前陆冲断褶带中一条重要的逆冲断层 ,随后卷入郯庐断裂系的左行走滑剪切 ;晚白垩世—早第三纪时表现为垒堑构造的调整边界 ,控制着滁全红色盆地的发展。新生代以来再次表现为逆冲推覆特征。 The Chuhe fault recorded the dynamic characteristics of the Lower Yangtze since the Paleozoic. The Sinian-Silurian of the fault was the dividing line between Chu County-Quanjiao Deepwater Basin and Chao County-Hanshan Shallow Basin. Late Devonian-Middle Triassic had no sediments on its northern side, The plate subducted northward and led to intracontinental extension faults; in the late Triassic period, it became an important thrust fault in the foreland thrust belt on the south side of the Dabie-Jiaonan orogenic belt and was subsequently involved in the Tan-Lu fault system Left-slip shear; Late Cretaceous - early Tertiary period showed the adjustment of the basement structure adjustment, controlling the Chu whole red basin development. The Cenozoic has once again shown the characteristics of thrusting and pushing.
