Abstract: Based on the rotation in the entire block and homogeneous strain model (REHSM), we firstly analyzed the motion and deformation features across the southern part of Tanlu fault from GPS velocity fields in period of 1999—2001, 2001—2004, 2004—2007 and 2007—2009. The results showed dextral strike-slip feature in Weifang-Tancheng segment while sinistral strike slip in Tancheng-Lujiang segment. And the deformation features perpendicular to Tanlu faults has alternated between tension and compression in different time-intervals. Then we resolved the relative rigid motion of blocks around Bohai Bay to the entire Bohai area by deducting the entire rigid motion of the Bohai area. We found that Yanshan-Bohai seismic belt splits this area into two parts, the northern one moved to northwest while the other to southeast.
