Abstract：The fault scarp is a rare tectonic geomorphologic phenomenon in South China.This paper describes the features of the fault scarp that found in the Shangluoyang village,measures the kinematics characteristics of the outcrop of faults,and researches the influence of the fault on the stream by using the 3D laser scanning technology.The results show that,the fault scarp plane exposed at least 0.33 m in the north of outcrop,and 1.3 m in the south of outcrop with waterfall.They are left-order-right stepping an echelon in the plane.The outcrop is composed of two groups of faults.They are all with left lateral strike slip.The fault on the south side of the outcrop offset the stream with 5.5 m in the horizontal direction.At last,the fault scrap zone what reported in this paper may be a trace of one paleoearthquake or history earthquake.
