   Strike-Slip Systems
   Strike-slip systems involve shearing parallel to the strike of the fault plane. These systems accommodate large-scale lateral movement between crustal blocks.
   Transcurrent Faults (Dextral/Sinistral): Movement is defined relative to an observer looking across the fault. Dextral (right-lateral) systems move the opposite block to the right, while sinistral (left-lateral) systems mo…

   Tectonic Setting and Geometry
   The XHFZ is oriented generally in a north-northwest to south-southeast direction, extending for approximately 1,000 kilometers. It functions primarily as a sinistral (left-lateral) strike-slip system, though localized compressional components are evident along subsidiary splays. The fault system terminates abruptly to the south against the Luding Fault and connects northward to the Longmen Shan Fault system, though the precise nature of this northern kinematic tra…
