Since the Holocene,climatic changes and neotectonic movements have controlled the development of paleochannels on the Huabei Plain,Some major rivers flow over loess regions.The transport a great deal of load,and most of the particles are within the size range 0.01-0.25mm.It has brought changes to the channels at great speed.Besides,the reliefs and artificial action have influenced the development of paleochannels.Distribution of paleochannels on the Huabei Plain is characterized by radial pattern.They are separately distributed in two types of landforms:strip highland and trough-shaped depression.The composition of materials contain two layers,the lower layer of deposits is thick sand body,and the upper layer of deposits consists primarily of thin loam and/or clay strata.The structures of paleochannel deposit show horizontal thin bedding and various cross-bedding in the order of up-and-down.The grain sizes of the composition of materials are smaller.The average psephicity is less than moderate.The sand body of the paleochannel presents long prism in geometry.The mineral assemblages of paleochannels in Hua Bei Plain are different and complex.The paleochannels in Huabei Plain are rich in ground water,which commonly contain less salt,but fossils are less.The electric character-istics of paleochannels show reaction of high resistance.
