摘要
The Altun Tagh fault, a famed tremendows left-lateal strike-slip fault in Asian continent has attracted plenty of geoscientists' attention at home and abroad.In the paper,we use the practical data to explain that the Altun Tagh fault was mainly formed in the Variscan orogeuy and that the active characterics in Cenozoic would ie due to tensional tectonic environment in Mesozoic. The maximum displacement is 250 kin along it since the Indian plate collided with the Eurasian plate.therefor,it plays an important role in geodynamice of the Qinghai-Xizang(Tibetan)plateau.
