Study on Lithospheric Tectonic Features of Tianshan and Adjacent Regions and the Genesis Mechanism of the Wushi Ms7.1 Earthquake by Kai Han, Daiqin Liu, Ailixiati Yushan, Wen Shi, Jie Li, Xiangkui Kong, Hao He

“…In this study, we analyzed the lithospheric seismic background of the Tianshan and adjacent areas by combining various geophysical methods (effective elastic thickness, time-varying gravity, apparent density, and InSAR), and explored the genesis mechanism of the Wushi Ms7.1 earthquake as an example, which led to the following conclusions: (1) The effective elastic thickness (Te) of the Tianshan lithosphere is low (13–28 km) and weak, while the Tarim and Junggar basins have Te > 30 km with high intensity, and the loads are all mainly from the surface (F < 0.5). …”
