The planar deformation analysis of Kalpin orogenic belt using remote sensing technique

After the mosaic and geometric correction of 6 scenes of TM data, this paper analyzes the distributions of the strata exhibited in the Kalpin area, which underlie the precise interpretation of the structure. Integrated SIR-A data analysis and processing with field surveys, the information of secondary order structure and the borderline of geological bodies under shallow sediments are analyzed in this paper. The movements and the planar reappearance of the thrust sheets implies a Kalpin area strike sinistral slip of E-W and NE trend in a N-S trend compressional tectonic setting, which indicates the deformation frame and its kinematic process. Combined with the new advances of structural geology, the structure deformation features are described in detail, and strike-slip fault related models and GIS techniques are applied in the precise interpretation of the planar structures in Kalpin orogeny. Therefore, the structural shortening of sinistral slip is calculated precisely using the remote sensing data, which provide us with a new quantitative means for planar structure research.
