Transpressional deformation is the main style in intracontinental deformation，and is the basic pattern in the process of mountain building. Bogda-Harlik Mountains are located in eastern Tienshan (in the middle of Turpan-Hami Basin and Junggar Basin). Through the geological mapping，remote sensing interpretation and digital topographic analysis，two groups of strike-slip faults (NWW and NEE) are closely related to the Cenozoic uplift of Bogda-Harlic Mountains. Based on the similar tectonic background，the transpressional orogeny mode can be also used in the interpretation of Cenozoic rapid uplift of the entire Tienshan.
