East-west crustal extension characterizes the high plateau; normal faulting along
roughly north-south trending grabens allows the south-eastern and south-
western extremities of the plateau to move apart at about I9 1" 9 mm/a,
corresponding ...

The recognition of left-lateral slip on roughly eastwest trending faults led to the
logical conclusion that slip on these faults has allowed eastward translation of
material relative to Siberia (Molnar & Tapponnier, 1975; Tapponnier & Molnar.
1977).

The high plateau is currently undergoing roughly east-west extension, which is
manifested both by normal faulting on north-south planes and conjugate strike-
slip faulting in north-west and north-east trending planes. Simultaneously, the ...
