Evolution of drainage patterns in active fold-thrust belts: A case study in the Qilian Mountains
The Qilian Mountains are a typical active fold-thrust belt. A series of large and elongated drainage basins are oriented almost parallel to the Mountain Chain. Conversely, on North flank of the Qilian Mountains, transverse rivers dominate the drainage network. However, the evolution of these drainag...
