...Ping He; Chengli Liu; Yangmao Wen; Xiaoping Hu; Kaihua Ding; Caijun Xu Abstract On 8 January 2022, an M w 6.6 earthquake occurred along the Lenglongling fault (LLLF) (Menyuan, Qinghai Province, China), in the northeast margin of the Tibetan plateau. Here, we use imaging geodesy observations from...

... for the information they provide on age and geographical associations. The northwestern part of Tibet is one of Earth's most complex areas geologically, and its early Paleozoic history is particularly difficult to decipher. During the Cambrian, the Qilian Mountains comprised a series of island arc complexes that were...

... marble is thrust over Silurian slightly metamorphosed submarine sedimentary strata along a ∼45° south-dipping fault near Menyuan; the location of sample WC09-13-2014 (10) is shown. (C) The lower Paleozoic sandstone unit is intruded by the Ordovician granitoid that is cut by the mafic dike; the location...

... ), the complexity inherent in precursors and the difference of earthquakes ( Scholz et al. , 1973 ; Cicerone et al. , 2009 ; Wang et al. , 2018 ) together limit human understanding of whether earthquakes are predictable ( Geller et al. , 1997 ; Wyss, 1997 ). For example, the anticipated M 6.0 earthquake...

Regarding the early Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the North Qilian orogen, some researchers have proposed a complete trench-arc...

The Central Qilian...

... mainshock extends into the Hatay triple junction between the EAF, the Cyprus arc, and the Dead Sea fault branching to the south (Fig.  1b ). For the 2nd mainshock, we discretized the fault rupture model into three segments, each subdivided into 5 km × 5 km subfaults. Segment 2‐a, on which rupture...
