“…On the western margin of the Ili Basin, the NE‐striking Chilik fault (CF) and Altyn‐Emel fault (AEF) clearly exhibit left‐lateral faulting in the late Quaternary geomorphology (Grützner et al., 2019). The NE‐striking west Junggar fault system, comprising three subparallel fault zones, called the Tacheng fault, Tori fault and Darbute fault from west to east, formed in the Permian (Wu et al., 2018). This fault system commenced with right‐lateral faulting and has been inversed to left‐lateral slip faulting since the Triassic (Wu et al., 2018).…”

“…The NE‐striking west Junggar fault system, comprising three subparallel fault zones, called the Tacheng fault, Tori fault and Darbute fault from west to east, formed in the Permian (Wu et al., 2018). This fault system commenced with right‐lateral faulting and has been inversed to left‐lateral slip faulting since the Triassic (Wu et al., 2018). Displaced alluvial fan surveys and dating estimate late Quaternary slip rates of ∼1.0 mm/yr for the Tacheng fault (Yao et al., 2019; Yu et al., 2021), less than 0.5 mm/yr for the Tori fault (Feng, 1997) and ∼0.2 mm/yr for the Darbute fault (Zhao et al., 1997, Table 1).…”

In response to the India-Eurasia collision, widespread Cenozoic deformation and active orogenic belts have been produced within the Eurasian continent (Figure 1; Molnar & Tapponnier, 1975;Tapponnier & Molnar, 1979). Blocks neighboring major fault zones that usually possess continuous geometry and similar kinematics have been thought to aid in accommodating regional displacements (Tapponnier et al., 1982). The Tianshan Mountains, as orogenic belts reactivated in the late Cenozoic (Hendrix et al., 1994), show wedge shapes that are narrow in the east and wide in the west (Avouac et al., 1993), and they are bounded by the rigid Junggar Basin and Kazakh Platform in the north and the Tarim Basin in the south (Figure 1). The southern and northern margins of mountains are bounded by large-scale thrust fault zones and dominated by crustal shortening and thickening to accommodate N-S convergence (
