“…Relevant studies have shown that the slip rate of the Batang fault since the Late Quaternary has been 2.21-3.7 mm/a (Huang et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2015;You et al, 2016), and some studies have suggested that the Batang fault has decomposed the strike-slip deformation of the Garzê-Yushu fault, which has led to change in the slip rate of the Garzê-Yushu fault (Huang et al, 2015;Lv et al, 2017). In addition, related studies also believe that the Maisu fault likely accommodates the partitioned horizontal slip deformation of the Garzê-Yushu fault (Zuo et al, 2022). The Abuduo fault is a leftlateral strike-slip fault with Holocene activity, and its tendency is similar to that of the Batang fault and Maisu fault, i.e., both have near E-W alignment, and the eastward extension of the Abuduo fault is likely to intersect the Garzê-Yushu fault.…”
