A speleoseismological study has been conducted at over a dozen cave sites along the Longmen Shan fault zone of the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The aim was to assess the damage inflicted on speleothems by the Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake. Results show that the earthquake led to either partial or complete collapse of the caves. ‘Soda straws’ are shown to be particularly vulnerable to earthquake damage, but statistical analyses indicate that the spindle and slender shapes are also very likely to break. Cave depth is also shown to play an important role in the fracture development during the earthquake. The measured orientations of fallen stalactites are preferentially aligned to the coseismic surface offset peaks and therefore to the direction of earthquake wave propagation. Several such damaged speleothems resulting from sudden co-seismic movements were observed. The direction of ceiling (hanging wall) movement caused by the Wenchuan earthquake is NW-NNW, consistent with block motion on the footwall of the Yingxiu-Beichuan fault. We inferred that the faults in the caves were not co-seismic structures of the Wenchuan earthquake; but instead they are likely normal faults as the result of gravity creeping induced by the earthquake.
