Perspective view of the digital elevation model of Central Asia showing the main intraplate strike-slip deformation belts developed during the India Eurasia collision The Pamir-Baikal-Okhotsk strike-slip deformation belt locates in the central-upper part of the image, northward of the Tarim Basin. ]t includes the Tien Shan and bounds to the north and to the south the Baikal basin (upper right corner of the image). Other intraplate strike slip deformation Belts, such as the Altyn Tagh and the Red River, can be easily identified in the image Original data from the Global Land One-kin Base Elevation (GLOBE) Project of the NationaJ Geophysical Data Center, NOAA (www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/topo/globe shtml) Image processed at the Remote Sensing Lab, Geology Dept,.
