Abstract
By contrasting and analyzing the characteristics of gravity field near by some important active faults in the continent of China, it can be f ound that the crust blocks where Bouguer anomalies are regionally posi tive (or relatively positive) are moving towards the terrestrial poles and the blocks where Bouguer anomalies in a tremendous area are negat ive (or relatively negative) are moving towards the equator. By analys is of mechanics and mathematics calculation and based on lots of pract ical data, the authors hold that the change in density of a crust bloc k is a decisive factor that causes the horizontal movement of the cont inental crust, while magma activity is an important factor that leads to the change in density of a crust block.
