The Evolution of Stress and Strain around the Bayan Har Block in the Tibetan Plateau

Figure 2

Finite element model used in this study. Different colors in the model show the blocks and faults around Bayan Har block. B1: Qaidam-Qilian Shan block; B2: Bayan Har block; B3: Qiangtang block; B4: Sichuan basin. F1–F6 indicate the major faults (Figure 1). The enlarge region shows the grid mesh of finite element model.
