A Simple Scenario for Explaining Asymmetric Deformation Across the Altyn Tagh Fault in the Northern Tibetan Plateau: Contributions from Multiple Faults

Remote Sensing
Asymmetric deformation has been observed along the Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF), the northern boundary of the Tibetan Plateau. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this asymmetry, including contrasts in crustal strength, lower crust/upper mantle ...

New Magnetotelluric Data Reveal Deep Fault Boundaries and Contrasting Late Cenozoic Fault Kinematics Between the Qilian Shan Thrust Wedge and Beishan‐Alxa Block, Western China

Geophysical Research Letters
The structural connectivity and kinematic relationship between the Altyn Tagh sinistral strike‐slip fault (ATF) and Qilian Shan fold‐and‐thrust belt along the north Tibetan margin east of 96°E is an important question for tectonicists interested in the ...

Crustal-upper mantle velocity structure from the North Qilian Shan to Beishan Orogenic Collage: tectonic significance of crustal deformation [PDF]

Solid Earth
The Qilian Shan represents a Cenozoic fold-thrust belt characterized by multi-stage tectonic deformation since the Paleozoic. North of it lies the Hexi corridor basins and the Beishan Orogenic Collage (BOC), which constitute the southern segment of the ...

Carbonate U‐Pb Ages Constrain Paleocene Motion Along the Altyn Tagh Fault in Response to the India‐Asia Collision

Geophysical Research Letters
The kinematics and deformation pattern along the Altyn Tagh fault (ATF), one of the largest strike‐slip faults on Earth is of great significance for understanding the growth of the Tibetan Plateau.

Static Stress Transfer and Fault Interaction Within the 2008–2020 Yutian Earthquake Sequence Constrained by InSAR-Derived Slip Models

Remote Sensing
The Yutian region at the southwestern termination of the Altyn Tagh Fault has experienced four moderate-to-strong earthquakes since 2008, providing an opportunity to investigate fault interactions within a transtensional tectonic setting.

Determination of the Altyn Tagh strike-slip fault basin and its relationship with mountains

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2002
A special extended basin topography is developed in the middle segment of the Altyn Tagh Fault Zone. The ratio of its length to width is over 50. The long boundaries at the two sides of the basin are controlled by the straight normal faults with strike-slip component. Within the basin, the Cenozoic strata are spread.

Source and geological significance of Jurassic asphalt in the Ruoqiang Sag of Southeast Depression, Tarim Basin, Northwestern China

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Southeast Depression of the Tarim Basin has a very low petroleum exploration degree, and currently, no industrial oil and gas have been discovered. Many hydrocarbon shows exist in the Ruoqiang Sag, where hydrocarbon sources and accumulation processes
