Rejuvenation of the Kuqa Foreland Basin, northern flank of the Tarim Basin, northwest China
December 1, 1994
The Kuqa depression along the northern flank of the Tarim basin is filled with a thick sequence of Neogene and Quaternary coarse elastic continental sediments. This structural depression is part of a large foreland basin that lies south of the Tianshan—an orogenic belt of intracontinental convergence resulting from the northward propagation of stress following the collision of India with the southern margin of Eurasia.
