The Meishan Fault belt is a disturbed belt width hundreds meters or up to 2 kilometers, parallel-structured scarps or linear terrain structures is tremendously displayed within this region. The field investigation verifies that the Meishan Fault has not yet cut off the Jiouchiungkeng Fault.

This study conducts boreholes on the river terrace in Meishan town. Meibei Elementary School borehole 1 is located on the north to the linear scarp. The Meibei Elementary School borehole 2 is on the south, the southern terrace surface is 4 m higher than that of the north. The southern bedrock surface is 4.2 m higher than the northern bedrock. Due to the fact that this elevation difference varies from that of the terrace, and the bedrock (Hsiangshan sandstone) in the core does not have a shear structure, and that both sides of the surface of the terrane are 10º inclined, it is still indefinable whether this linear scarp is resulted from the Meishan Fault.
