    Brittle Structure Sequence in the Kuqa Depression and Its Implications to the Tectonic Paleostress

    • In order to understand the time-space changes of the Cenozoic tectonic paleostress in the Kuqa depression, detailed field observations and measurements were carried out. Paleostress evolution history is discussed from the Late Cretaceous, according to the relationship between brittle structures and stresses. Their sequence relation is inferred from field investigations and the calculated results indicate that the early ENE-WSW systematic joints caused by regional uplifting were cut and reworked by late NNW-SSE and NW-SE systematic joints. This corresponds to the change of regional stresses from weak extension to strong compression since the beginning of the Neogene.Resultsof paleostress inversion based on large amounts of fault-slip data display a stress pattern with near N-S extension on the basin margin and NW-SE compression in the basin interior. So at the beginning of the Neogene, the stress field changed and the maximal principal stress σ1 switched from vertical to horizontal. The rapid vertical uplifting of the Tianshan Mountains might be responsible for the stress difference between the basin range and interior.
