- •
We propose a non-rigid passive bookshelf-fault model for deformation in north Tibet.
- •
Right-lateral shear drives clockwise rotation and left-slip faulting on W–E faults.
- •
Clockwise rotation of faults occurs against left-slip Altyn Tagh bounding fault.
- •
Model explains bidirectional decrease in slip and four-quadrant strain pattern.
- •
Protracted deformation in northern Tibet since Eocene
