英文摘要	The paper discussed the relations between the neotectonics and seismicity along the coast of Guangxi, South China and concluded based on the geomorphological observations: (1) Two fault sets striking northeast and northwest are well developed along the coast zone and the intersection of the two fault sets divided the coast zone into many blocks. The differential movement of the blocks has controlled the geological and geomorphological evolution of the coast since Cenozoic era. The activity of the fault set striking northwest is much stronger than that of striking northeast fault set; (2) The earthquakes mainly distributed along the basin boundaries where the landforms are greatly contrast and in the intersecting parts of the two fault sets; (3) The blocks in the study area have been vertically uplifting as a whole block except the Qinzhou Bay and Tieshan Estuary areas where are still subsiding and the activity of the fault sets has been weakening in horizontal direction since Holocene epoch, so it is impossible to occur a large earthquake in the area under the condition of tectonic movement except the two subsiding areas: the Qinzhou Bay and the Tieshan Estuary sites.; Geography, Physical; Geosciences, Multidisciplinary; SCI(E); 0; ARTICLE; 1; 81-89; 43
