The results show that the crustal shortening rate of Tianshan, with the longitude （77°±1°）E as the boundary, gradually decreased towards two sides, from the south to the north, indicating that the pushing force of plate becomes weaker along with the fold deformation decreasing of the Tianshan. The direction of principal compressive strain of Tianshan and its adjacent area, nearly NNW, is basically perpendicular to the Tianshan cordillera trend, suggesting the distribution and variation of maximum principal compressive stress in Tianshan and its adjacent region resulted from collision and extrusion of Indian Plate. This paper indicates that the maximum shear strain field mainly con- centrates on two areas, one is Isyk lake of North Tianshan, Kyrgyzstan, and the other is the juncture of Jiashi （South Tianshan） and Pamir arc faults. In the above areas, it can be shown from the epicentral distribution that the strong earthquakes mostly occurs at the high shearing strain accumulation filed or its edge.展开更多
