Weakness of the Intracontinental Strike-Slip Kunlun Fault and Implications for Tibetan Tectonics
An analysis of fault-related fold structures and the focal mechanisms of large earthquakes reveals that the maximum horizontal stress is oriented sub-perpendicular to the intracontinental strike-slip Kunlun Fault, which triggered the 1997 Mw 7.6 Manyi and 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun earthquakes upon the northern Tibetan Plateau. Based on seismic inversion results and in situ measurements of stress perfo...
متن کاملoffsets along the doruneh fault; implications for dating sampling sites and slip rate determination
the doruneh fault is one of the longest and most prominent faults in iran. however, only two recorded historical earthquakes with magnitudes more than 7 might be related to this fault. for getting more information on this fault more investigation in different fields are required. fault displacement is one of the most important parameters needed to explore the fault activity. in this study, with...
متن کاملSystematical Stream Offsets Resulting from Large Earthquakes Along the Strike-Slip Kunlun Fault, Northern Tibetan Plateau: Evidence from the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun Earthquake
Field investigations and interpretations of high-resolution remote sensing images reveal geomorphic features of cumulative offsets and deflections of Holocene streams and gullies along the western 450-km segment of the Kunlun fault which triggered the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun earthquake in the northern Tibetan Plateau. The streams and gullies developed on Holocene alluvial fans are sinistrally displa...

متن کاملActive Tectonics Revealed by River Profiles along the Puqu Fault
The Puqu Fault is situated in Southern Tibet. It is influenced by the eastward extrusion of Northern Tibet and carries the clockwise rotation followed by the southward extrusion. Thus, the Puqu Fault is bounded by the principal dynamic zones and the tectonic evolution remains active alongside. This study intends to understand the tectonic activity in the Puqu Fault Region from the river profile...
