Inversion of fault slip data suggests that the stress field of the Kunming basin has experienced two major stages. In the first stage ( from the late-Pliocene to mid-Pleistocene),the regional tectonic stress field was characterized by near E-W compression and near N-S extension. In the second stage (from the late-Pleistocene to the present),the tectonic stress field has been mainly characterized by NNW-SSE compression and NEE-SWW extension. Under such a stress field,the near N-S trending faults in the region mainly show a lateral slip.展开更多

文摘The Kunming basin is a Cenozoic faulted basin controlled by N-S trending active faults. there are totally 8 main active faults in and around the Kunming basin area. Inversion of fault slip data suggests that the stress field of the Kunming basin has experienced two major stages. In the first stage ( from the late-Pliocene to mid-Pleistocene),the regional tectonic stress field was characterized by near E-W compression and near N-S extension. In the second stage (from the late-Pleistocene to the present),the tectonic stress field has been mainly characterized by NNW-SSE compression and NEE-SWW extension. Under such a stress field,the near N-S trending faults in the region mainly show a lateral slip.
