Abstract:The Altyn Tagh Fault,as an important fault within the Chinese continent,plays a key role in understanding the uplift evolution of the Tibetan Plateau and the continental deformation process,in which the slip rates has been the most crucial issues in different views. We collect most of the slip rate results of the Altyn Tagh Fault by previous studies,including geologic,paleoseismic,and geodetic estimations ranging in 82°E~99°E,which span decadal,millennial,and tens-of-thousand-years temporal scales,which allow us to obtain an overall perspective on the spatial-temporal variation of the slip rates along the Altyn Tagh Fault. Recent investigations suggest a (10±3)mm/a strike-slip rate across the western and central segments,and a eastward decrease along the eastern segment starting from 93°E,with insignificant temporal variation. And we attribute the discrepancy between results from different measurements to either a single large event or a group of temporally clustered earthquakes.
