Effects of Lithospheric Properties on Crustal Strain at Both Ends of Longmen Shan Orogenic Belt: Based on Numerical Simulation

Effects of Lithospheric Properties on Crustal Strain at Both Ends of Longmen Shan Orogenic Belt: Based on Numerical Simulation

Strain partitioning and accommodation are fundamental constraints to evaluate tectonic models of orogenic plateaus. The uplift mechanism issue of the eastern Tibetan Plateau has remained a long-term focus since the last century, namely, the steep uplift of the Longmen Shan area. Several tectonic mod...
