“…The main reason of the controversial results is probably related to the fact that the different research studies employed different methodology, or that each individual study was would concern a restricted time interval or segment of fault. For example, study using sedimentology Chen et al, 2004;Ritts et al, 2004;Yue et al, 2001Yue et al, , 2004Yin et al, 2002;Yuan Sihua et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2010;Wu et al, 2012a;2012b;Mao Liguang et al, 2013;Ran Bo et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2016b), tectonic deformation analysis (Cai Xuelin et al, 1992;Zheng Jiandong, 1991b;Wang, 1997;Metiver et al, 1998;Meyer et al, 1998;Tapponnier et al, 1990Tapponnier et al, , 2001Li Haibing et al, 2006;Zhu et al, 2006;Zhuang et al, 2011;Wu Lei et al, 2013;Xu Bo et al, 2013;Xiao Ancheng et al, 2013), thermal chronology (Geoge et al, 2001;Jolivet et al, 2001;Wan Jinlin et al,2001;Chen Zhengle et al, 2002;Cowgill et al, 2003;ACTA GEOLOGICA SINICA (English Edition) http://www.geojournals.cn/dzxben/ch/index.aspx http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ags Liu Yongjiang et al, 2003Wang et al, 2006;Clark et al,2010;Zheng et al, 2010) or Paleomagnetism (Chen et al, 1992…”
