In the region of the April 13 earthquake the Tibetan Plateau is extending and translating east-southeastward within a larger zone of generally north–south convergence. [3] Based on the location, depth, and moment tensor of the event, the Qinghai Province earthquake likely reflects the interplay amongst these major tectonic forces, dominated ...
Qinghai lies in the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau, which formed due to the ongoing collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate. The main deformation in this area is crustal shortening , but there is also a component of left lateral strike-slip faulting on major west–east trending structures such as the Kunlun and Altyn ...
