“…In addition, left‐lateral displacement along the ATF is also transferred into crustal shortening in the Qilian Shan and eastward block extrusion along the Changma and Haiyuan strike‐slip faults (Hetzel et al., 2019; Hetzel, Tao, Stokes et al., 2004; Hu et al., 2015; Meyer et al., 1998; Shao et al., 2022; Q. Xu et al., 2021; X. Xu et al., 2005, H. Yang, Yang, Huang et al., 2018; H. Yang, Yang, Zhang et al., 2018; P. Z. Zhang et al., 2007; W. J. Zheng, Zhang, He et al., 2013). Although the surface trace of the ATF ends west of the Kuantanshan (Figures 1a and 1b, W. J. Zheng, Zhang, Zhang et al., 2013), Quaternary sinistral strike‐slip displacements have been accommodated further east and along‐strike in the Heishan‐Jinta'Nanshan fault array (Figure 1b; B. Zhang et al., 2016; H. Yang et al., 2023).…”
