—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.
