Figure 11

Eeastward extension regions on the central Tibetan plateau. Open rhomb area: extensional motion region obtained from the present analysis; open arrows: extensional direction of the plateau altitudes obtained in the present analysis (other tectonic properties are referenced the study of Avouac and Tapponnier [24]).
