Reinterpretation of the active faulting in central Mongolia
We present remote-sensing and field observations of an ∼350-km-long east-west left-lateral strike-slip fault (the South Hangay fault) in the Hangay Mountains of central Mongolia, an area previously believed to be deforming solely by slip on scattered, and randomly oriented, normal faults. The known...
