    • In order to clarify the segmentation of the Cenozoic development and evolution and reveal the dynamical genetic mechanism of the southern fault zone in Zhu-3 depression, we analyze the geometric and kinematic features of the southern fault zone, and discuss the response of the segmental evolution of the southern fault zone to the regional tectonic background in conjunction with the results of previous research. The results show that there are obvious segmentation in the southern fault zone, and there are differences in the geometry, combination with secondary faults, and sedimentary stratigraphy of the descending plate in different segments, which can be divided into two branches and six segments. The Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the southern fault zone can be divided into three stages: reactivation in segment and grew in isolation with relatively weak activity during Paleocene-Middle Eocene; the fault activity increased and gradually connected, and the Wenchang C sag segment stopped activation and the Wenchang B sag northern segment underwent tectonic inversion during the Late Eocene-Oligocene; the fault activity decreased significantly and the segmentation reappeared and gradually died out from the Miocene to present. The complex tectonic movement such as the subduction direction and rate change of the Pacific plate, the collision of the Indian-Eurasian plate, the wedge of the Philippine Sea plate, the subduction and extinction of the ancient South China Sea and the expansion of the new South China Sea led to the change of the Cenozoic regional extension direction of the northern continental margin of the South China Sea. The segmentation of the Cenozoic development and evolution characteristics of the southern fault zone reflects the joint control of the pre-existing fault system in the Late Mesozoic and the change of the Cenozoic regional extension direction.
