Scientific paper

New fault plane solutions of recent earthquakes, along with previously published fault plane solutions, field geologic data, and faults interpreted from Landsat imagery indicate thrust faulting in the Tien Shan region. For most of the fault plane solutions compressive stress axes are nearly horizontal and trending approximately north-south, perpendicular to the trend of the Tien Shan fold belts. Contemporary tectonics of the Tien Shan region can be interpreted as resulting from convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
