Whether or not the slip rate of intracontinental faults varies through time is fundamental importance for spatiotemporal distribution strain, strain release during earthquakes and growth fault-related topography; however, fault systems which estimates over high-resolution scales ranging from millions to thousands years are lacking (Hetzel et al., 2019). Here, we focused on Huoerguosi fold-and-thrust belt, Northern Tianshan. Through field geological-geomorphological mapping, drone...

Fold-and-thrust belts (FTBs) serve as crucial structural elements in regulating crustal shortening and deformation within continental interiors. They exhibit intricate geometric kinematic characteristics, encompassing various fault-related folds multiple sets of primary (active) detachment planes at varying depths. It is to determine the sequence interaction between shallow deep structures systems comprehend geological processes fully fold-and-thrust (FTBs). However, model involving active...

Abstract On 23 March 2021, an Mw 5.2 earthquake struck Baicheng city at the southern foreland of Tian Shan mountains and produced unexpected severe damages. Based on Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar observations, geological investigations, petroleum seismic-reflection profiles, available seismological results, we found that (1) rupture was sinistral-slip dominated mostly concentrated ≤2 km depth, suggesting extremely shallow earthquake; (2) a 4.1-km-long surface zone, along which...

The activity of blind thrust faults drives fold deformation overlying strata, leading the folds to be geometrically related underlying faults. However, it is often challenging select an appropriate kinematic model for a fault-related fold. To construct Guman in front Western Kunlun Mountains western China, we interpret deformed terrace profiles and high-resolution seismic reflection profile that crosses Combining characteristics subsurface structures interpreted from data, best explained as...

Abstract Tectonic wedge systems are important structures found in foreland fold‐and‐thrust belts all over the world. Although shortening is accommodated by backthrusts and forethrusts through a tip, few works have analyzed detail geometry kinematics of surface traces outcrops these backthrusts. Our work focuses on hinterland‐migrating Jiangnanmiao (JNM) Thrust Fault northern Tian Shan. Based interpretations Google Earth images, detailed geologic geomorphic mapping, differential GPS...

The Pamir orogen, laying at the northwestern syntaxis of Indo-Asian collision zone and one most tectonically active regions central Asia, experiences significant extension in its interior. Although internal is common mature orogens, special because (i) primarily concentrated on Kongur Extensional System (KES) rather than distributed multiple normal faults; (ii) KES localized eastern region centralized, suggesting asymmetric extension; (iii) along decreases southward, instead decreasing from...

It is crucial to determine the sequence of deformation and interaction between shallow deep structures within multiple detachment systems comprehend geological processes fully in fold-and-thrust belts (FTBs). Here, we implement forward modeling investigate geometric, kinematic, syntectonic sedimentary characteristics structural interactions. We design four combinative patterns geometric structures, three kinematic scenarios, two settings with different ratios sedimentation rate uplift...
