The finite strain patterns in this area are of following characteristics:① The orientation of & principal axes of strain ellipsoid varies regularly in regard to different tectonic locations. In fact, most of the measured X axes are parallel to the regional structure lines, striking east\|west or approximately east\|west with some X axes trending northeast\|southwest. The measured Z\|axes are approximately at right angle to the regional structure lines, trending north\|northeast or north\|northwest.② The Flinn parameter k is higher in the northern and southern margins of the basin than that in the basin center, indicating that the margins of basin experienced extensional strain and the middle of basin undergo strain.③ Rocks of different age possess different strain state and show k value of 1～2 for Tertiary rocks, 3～4 for Jurassic—Cretaceous rocks. The k value of the basement rocks is the highest of all.展开更多

Field investigation, analyses of deformation and construction of two restored balanced structural sections suggest 75-100 km （51%-64%） of N-S shortening in the Tanggula thrust system and 55-114 km （42%-47%） of N-S shortening in the Tuotuohe basin. The shortening ratios indicate that the Tanggula- Tuotuohe area has undergone intensive deformation and crustal shortening during the Early Tertiary, resulting not only in crustal thickening, but also in large scale volcanism and in rapid uplift of the Tanggula Mountains.展开更多
