摘要
///The Yanqi Basin is an important depression area of the Tianshan Mountains near the northeast margin of the Tarim Basin. The Hejing thrust-fold belt, a renascent thrust-fold belt with intense tectonic activity, is located on the north margin of the Yanqi Basin. The authors calculated the shortening and uplifting of the Hejing thrust-fold belt since Quaternary to analyze the tectonic activities of this region, then, made a preliminary estimation of the shortening and uplifting rate in the Yanqi Basin and compared the result with other areas to demonstrate the role of the Yanqi Basin in the tectonic deformation of Tianshan in Late Cenozoic.
