This paper presents about the earth’s crustal structure of the Đà River ladder of hydroelectric plants on the basis of Bouguer gravity and magnetic analysis. The results have shown that: The fault of the 1st order have a crust penetration depth and structure zoning including: Lai Châu - Điện Biên, Phong Thổ, Sem La, Mường La - Bắc Yên. The fault system was developed in the northwest - southeast, sub latitude, and northeast - southwest directions. The depth of the crystallize basement varies quite complicatedly from outcrop on the surface to 5.5 km deep. The difference between the density of the above sediment (2.62- 2.66 g/cm3) and the below granite layer (2.70-2.76 g/cm3) was approximately 0.08 g/cm3; Conrad surface- depth changed from 7.98 km to 18.49 km.

The difference between the density of the above granite layer (2.70-2.76 g/cm3) and the below basalt layer (2.90-2.94 g/cm3) was approximately 0.19 g/cm3; Moho surface- depths change from 21.3 km to 35.4 km, they tend to be raised in the southeast and sank slowly in the west. The disparity between the basalt layer density (2.90-2.94 g/cm3) and the upper mantle layer was approximately 0.4 g/cm3.
