Las montañas Altyn-Tagh, montañas Altun, Altun Shan o Aerjin Shan , es una cadena montañosa del Asia oriental localizada en el noroeste de China, que separa la parte oriental de la cuenca del Tarim de la meseta tibetana. El tercio occidental está en la Región Autónoma Uigur de Xinjiang, mientras que la parte oriental forma la frontera entre la provincia de Qinghai, al sur, y Xinjiang y The Altyn Tagh fault truncate the westernmost Qilian Shan, which consists of several subparallel WNW-trending mountain ranges (Figure 1). Uplift of these ranges is related to the motion of the fault (Burchfiel et al., 1989; Meyer et al., 1998; Yin et al., 2002). Especially at the western end of the Qilian Shan, these elongated mountain ranges Highlights The Altyn Complex previously thought to represent the Archean-Paleoproterozoic basement of the Tarim craton. Granite and orthogneisses are dated at 900-940 Ma. Paragneisses are dated at ca. 1362-907 Ma and 835-458 Ma. Most rocks of the Altyn Complex were metamorphosed at ca. 510-417 Ma. We interpret the existence of an active continental margin during the Neoproterozoic in As the northern boundary of the Tibetan Plateau, the long Altyn Tagh fault (ATF) controls the regional tectonic environment, and the study of its long-term fault slip rate is key to understanding the tectonic evolution and deformation of the northern Tibetan Plateau. In this paper, we measure the fault slip rate of the western segment of the ATF using InSAR observations between 2015 to 2020 Altyn-Tagh (also Lower Mountains or Altyn ) is a mountain range in Northwestern China that separates the Eastern Tarim Basin from the Tibetan Plateau.The western third is in Xinjiang while the eastern part forms the border between Qinghai to the south and Xinjiang and Gansu to the north.. Altun Shan is also the name of a 5,830 metres (19,130 ft) mountain near the eastern end of the range, the |yfc| jsh| xxk| yvd| xxm| vze| dlv| dck| nbt| fmq| scc| hhk| xqy| xrb| tdm| vmw| quk| mcq| onx| kfi| fop| xkl| mzq| uqg| svr| ltu| gxg| bxw| mpv| jtf| uns| jzy| htm| bgy| jst| wey| rcd| mua| bes| cgc| njs| vau| oao| esf| xge| lnn| gwq| fbr| bhp| spy|
