Armijo et al. (1989) first recognized the KJFZ and proposed it as the structural boundary along which eastward movement of the Qiangtang terrane relative to the Lhasa terrane. This study focus on the activity of the eastern KJFZ, including with the Jiali fault (JF) and the Gyaring Co fault (GCF). Using high resolution satellite images, I was able to remap those two faults. Several geochronological methods are used, including radiocarbon, in-situ cosmogenic exposure, and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). The GCF, one of the en echelon faults of the KJFZ, has been reported as a dextral fault, striking N50°-60°W. According to our OSL ages, a slip rate of the GCF can be estimated as 14.6 ± 3.1 mm/yr since ca. 50ka. This study also focuses on a section of the western segment of the GCF, where the slip has been recognized to have occurred 3.0 ± 1.6 m more than 7 times. This ~3 m slip implies Mw 7.2-7.4 earthquakes recurring to the western segment in every 200 yrs, and may reach about Mw 7.7 if both segments break at the same time. Along JF, the main Jiali fault has become less active since ca. 20ka. The field investigation shows there may have been only one small possible event during the Holocene, but none in the Late Pleistocene. The Nagqu fault (NF), previously mapped as the horsetail branch of the JF, shows many evidences to indicate that it is an active fault. The slip rate of the NF is 13~26 mm/yr, as fast as the GCF. The GCF and the NF are similar to another en echelon minor fault, named the Beng Co fault (BCF), which was located on the 1951 M8 event. Such a high slip rate suggests that the central en echelon minor faults of the original KJFZ are kinematically different from the Karakoram and Jiali faults. Turning to inactive along the main Jiali fault may be attributed to the orientation of the Jiali fault, which is parallel to the extensional axis and has no differential stress acting across it. On the other hand, the en echelon faults play essential roles in accommodating the stress in a certain tectonic system.致謝 i 中文摘要 ii ABSTRACT iii CONTENTS iv LIST OF FIGURES viii LIST OF TABLES xxi Chapter 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Tectonic environment 1 1.2 Purpose of this study 3 Chapter 2 Regional background 5 2.1 Crustal deformation models of Tibet 8 2.1.1 Argand-type underthrusting models 8 2.1.2 ‘Rigid block’ models 10 2.1.3 Continuum models 13 2.1.4 Lower crustal flow models 14 2.2 The Karakoram-Jiali Fault Zone 16 2.2.1 Karakoram Fault (喀拉崑崙斷層) 17 2.2.2 Jiali Fault (嘉黎斷層) 20 2.2.3 En echelon faults between the Karakoram and Jiali faults 22 Chapter 3 Analytical methods 23 3.1 Mapping of active fault traces 23 3.1.1 Data resources and processing 24 3.1.2 Geomorphic offset measurements 27 3.2 The Quaternary dating methods 31 3.2.1 Sampling strategy 31 3.2.2 Radiocarbon Dating (14C age) 32 3.2.3 Optical Stimulated Luminescence Dating (OSL age) 32 3.2.4 In situ Cosmogenic Exposure Dating 38 Chapter 4 The Gyaring Co fault (格仁錯斷層) 42 Abstract 43 4.1 Introduction 43 4.1.1 Tectonic setting of the Gyaring Co fault (GCF) 46 4.2 Segmentation and amount of slip along the GCF 49 4.2.1 Western segment between lakes Goman Co and Zigui Co 49 4.2.2 Western segment between Zigui Co and Gyaring Co Lakes 60 4.2.3 Site 4 Aruo: the end of western segment of the GCF 63 4.2.4 Eastern segment between Gyaring Co and Waang Co Lake 64 4.3 Summary of small scale systematic offsets 66 4.4 Discussion 69 4.4.1 Long term slip rate of the Gyaring Co fault (GCF) 69 4.4.2 Characteristic slip along the western segment of the GCF and possible moment magnitude and recurrence interval 71 4.4.3 The Relationship between the slip record and climate change 74 4.4.4 Activity of the Gyaring Co fault from the Miocene until recently and its Kinematics 75 4.5 Conclusion 76 Acknowledgements 77 Chapter 5 The Jiali Fault (嘉黎斷層) 81 Abstract 82 5.1 Introduction 82 5.2 Background 85 5.3 Geomorphologic result along the main Jiali Fault 86 5.3.1 West of Enta 88 5.3.2 Enta-Jiali township 90 5.3.3 East of Jiali 92 5.3.4 The Nagqu Fault (那曲斷層) 94 5.3.5 The Jiagong (甲崗) and Yigong (易貢) faults 101 5.4 Discussion 103 5.4.1 The activity of the Jiali fault from Miocene to recent 103 5.4.2 Neotectonic roles of the Jiali fault and its neighboring faults 104 5.5 Conclusion 107 Acknowledgements 107 Chapter 6 Discussion 108 6.1 Late Quaternary Slip of the KJFZ v.s.
