The 2010 Yushu earthquake with Ms7.1 triggered a series of secondary geological hazards. On the basis of field survey of earthquake geological hazards in Yushu, combined with Quickbird remote sensing image data and aerial photo interpretation method by visual interpretation, there are 542 landslides ,as well as ,11 paleoseismic landslides are found first in Yushu. Based on the above, the major characteristics and spatial distribution of landslides, which include slide, collapse and debris flow, are presented in this paper. Among them the paper focuses on character of earthquake collapse which is much more than others. And according to type of material ,the earthquake collapse are classified into three types, which are debris fall, debris flow and rock fall, and the paper analysis each developmental characteristic and condition. The result shows the earthquake landslide mainly distributes in the area of length of about 95 km and along both sides of the fault rupture in a wide 2km range. As well as, the spatial distribution of earthquake landslides has well correspond with co-seismic surface rupture sections, distances of seismogenic fault and macroscopic epicenter location. Around the most serious surface rupture section has much more landslides, and the number of landslides increase as the distances to fault is closing. At macroscopic epicenter, the density of landslides is the greatest of all study area. All of them reflect typical disaster control character of Yushu strike-slip fault. Summarizing the differences, the distribution of earthquake landslides is strictly dominated by seismogenic fault, as well as, the geographic and geomorphic condition and formation lithology also make a difference, which mainly consider slope gradient, shape from of slope, height of free face and bedrock fragmentation. The paper also presents the intact form of non-tectonic rupture and summarizes it mainly cracks in middle side and press-shear in both sides, and the width and height of rupture is decreasing from middle to both sides. Combined with investigation on 11 large-scale old landslides of multi-period in field survey, writer finally confirm they are triggered by paleoearthquake by means of geographic and geomorphic condition, character of distribution, sedimentary characteristics of slip mass and analysis of genetic mechanism. Further study on the dimensions and character of paleosismic landslides, Yushu fault zone occurred multi-period paleoearthquakes in Holocene period whose magnitude is larger than Yushu Ms 7.1. Consequently, exploration of paleosismic landslide provides a good way for research on paleoseismic events. Moreover, in view of close relationship among the distribution of landslides triggered by earthquake and earthquake surface rupture and damage degree of the meizoseismal area, the author proposed earthquake-induced landslide can quickly locate the macroscopic epicenter and contributes to further earthquake intensity evaluation of the meizoseismal area, which provides theoretical basis and guiding significance for earthquake relief work and future geology hazard risk assessment.
