Short summary
The level morphological characteristics of ground fissures are influenced by the regional stress field. The morphology of ground fissures in Songzhuang were reshaped by the concentration of tensile stress and developed by the horizontal movement of a soil mass caused by groundwater overdraft. The Gaoliying ground fissures inherit the morphological characteristics of the Huangzhuang–Gaoliying fault, with differential settlement in a small area accelerating the development of Gaoliying fissures.
