摘要
Study on stratum,geomorphology,and tectonic deformation in Mazartagh area is significant for understand questions such as the Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Tarim Basin,the relationship between Tarim Basin and west Kunlun Mountain,the influence of neotectonic activities on the redistribution of oil-gas resources,and changing of climate and environment in Taklimakan desert.Late Cenozoic structural features in this area were studied thoroughly based on interpretation of satellite images,observation of field deformation,surveying of geological section,and interpretation of geophysical data.The tectonic orientation, time of origin, uplift rate and shortening rate, and stretch of the Mazartagh fold-thrust belt was also discussed. There might be a strike slip fault in the eastern end of the Mazartagh Mountain,near the Hetian Rive,which strike in a NE-SW direction and cause the disappear of the Mazartagh Mountain to the east.
