The results indicate that the slip distance of Ailao Shan-Red River shear zone is more than 350 km (at least based on the study done within China). And between the end of the left-lateral slip movement and the beginning of the right-lateral slip movement, the uplift of shear zone from SE to NW was homogeneously extended.展开更多

The massifs of the RRSZ, the only known mid\|crustal section exposed through a transform plate boundary, contain high\|grade metamorphic rocks that are believed to have been plastically deformed in a left\|lateral sense during the mid\|Tertiary. While the history of diachronous transtension along the RRSZ was previously obtained for temperatures below the brittle\|ductile transition from argon thermochronometry, the precise timing of high temperature deformation and the magnitude of strain have not been directly determined. This is a significant limitation to testing the extrusion model as magnetic anomalies from the South China Sea, interpreted to be a pull apart basin at the SE termination of the RRSZ, specifically predict that slip occurred between 35～17Ma at a rate of 3～5cm/a.展开更多

The result revealed the apparent tectonic variation along the Ailao Shan-Red River fault zone and its adjacent regions. High velocities are observed in the upper and middle crust beneath the Ailao Shan-Red River fault zone and they reflect the character of the fast uplifting and cooling of the metamorphic belt after the ductile shearing of the fault zone, while low velocities in the lower crust and near the Moho imply a relatively active crust-mantle boundary beneath the fault zone. On the west of the fault zone, the large-scale low velocities in the uppermost mantle beneath western Yunnan prove the influence of the mantle heat flow on volcano, hot spring and magma activities, however, the upper mantle on the east of the fault zone shows a relatively stable structure similar to the Yangtze block. The low velocities of the deep mantle beneath the southeastern extending segment of the fault zone are probably related to the mantle convection produced by the pull-apart of the South China Sea.展开更多
