The Liupan Mountains region is located at the northeastern-most corner of the Tibetan Plateau in tectonics. A series of southward-arced sinistral faults control the formation and distribution of inter-fault blocks and basins, in which thick Cenozoic sediments were deposited. Knowledge of the evolution and deformation of this region will enhance the understanding of the mechanisms of the Tibetan growth and its influence on global climate change. The research indicate that the deformation frontier from the India-Eurasia collision had reached the Liupan Mountains region at least about Late Eocene to the Early Oligocene, which is almost 30 million years earlier than the current general view that the deformation and uplift of the Liupan Mountains had begun since the Quaternary.
