Tectonic Deformation of an Intraplate Orogenic Belt: Mesozoic Sedimentary Basins in the Northeastern Qilian Shan, China

The Qilian Shan, located in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, is an intraplate orogenic belt that underwent several episodes of fold and thrust deformation, particularly during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. However, the deformation styles and relationships between the basin and mountains remain controv...
