Is the Altyn Tagh Fault Well Oriented?
Determining the orientation of maximum compressive stress near the Altyn Tagh
fault.
Based on:
**Earthquake focal mechanisms
**Geologic data
including fault slip, fault and fold geometry
Focal mechanisms along the Altyn Tagh fault

World Stress Map inward pointing arrows = reverse faulting
environments, outwrd pointing arrows = normal faulting environments,
inward arrows with small orthoganol arrows = strike-slip
environments.
