    BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF LOESS STRATUM IN NORTHERN SHAANXI

    • Northern Shaanxi is the typical loess-distributed area of China. It has the the most typical loess layer profile of loess plateau due to the large formation thickness, the full sequence and deep dissection of its loess strata. Factors including geography and climate have contributed to obvious regional differences among loess strata in northern Shaanxi. Nonetheless, studies on the regional features of loess strata in northern Shaanxi are relatively insufficient till now. This paper, based on a large number of field investigation, draws stratigraphic correlation diagrams of such typical areas as Jing Bian, Mi Zhi, Yan Chuan and Luo Chuan. It further analyzes the basic features of loess strata in northern Shaanxi. The paper finds that the distribution of loess strata in northern Shaanxi has a certain regularity. It provides evidence for and supports the viewpoint of the eolian of loess. Hopefully, it can also serve as a reference for studies on the evolution of paleoclimate and paleoenvironment in northern Shaanxi region.
