    Abstract
  • This study focuses on the sedimentary characteristics of Huangyangquan fan through field investigation and trench excavation combined with satellite image interpretation and Quaternary geological as well as historical geography analysis. The authors suggest that the Huangyangquan fan is a fluvial fan developed in the inland arid area of northwestern Junggar basin margin, which is a gourd in plan metric shape and can be divided into three parts, namely, upper fan, middle fan and fan margin. The fan is dominated by fluvial deposits but not debris flow deposits. The channel is most of ephemeral with minor intermittent channel. The effect of wind on the sediment of fluvial fan surface is obvious. The fan is terminated in 4 types as into Eric lake, to the marshes, to the shore of small lakes and to an terrain block, these are all different to either of normal alluvial fan or fan deltas.Research shows that the ancient Manas lake appeared six times high level in the Quaternary. Before 30 ka, the fan was surrounded by ancient Manas lake as a fluvial fan delta system, after that time it changed gradually to be an fluvial fan due to the lake level down. The depositional model has been built based the historical geography research results to interpret the evolution of the fan from fluvial fan delta to fluvial fan system, and it shows the present Huangyangquan fan is in the transition period from fan delta to fluvial fan system.
