![—Simplified Cenozoic tectonic map of the Tarim basin and the adjacent area showing the transpressional structural features under the sinistral movements of both the Altun fault zone and the Aheqi fault zone.]()
![—Tectonic scheme of the northern margin of the Tarim basin. Along the Aheqi fault zone, the Kalpin uplift encounters transpressional tectonic processes to form a complicated strike-slip fault-propagation fold at the western restraining bend of the Aksu arc. The Kuqa depression shows the transtensional tectonic process to form a pull-apart basin (Baicheng basin) at the eastern releasing bend of the arc. AF = Aksu fault, YF = Yulgun fault.]()
