%X Field investigation shows that the boundary between the Kuqa Basin and the Tianshan Mountains can be divided into two sections with the Yanbulak area as the di-viding point. In the western section, the Mesozoic strata overlie unconformably on the Paleozoic rocks. The ba-sin-dipping faults developed in both Mesozoic and Paleozoic rocks. The eastern section is characterized by basin-dipping normal faults separating the Paleozoic strata and Tertiary. The brittle structural analysis was carried out along the ba-sin-range boundary. 360 measurements of striations have been obtained at a total of 25 sites. Paleostress reconstruction indicates that the basin-range boundary was in an exten-sional condition, with some superimposed strike-slip, during the Late Tertiary. The extension could be explained by the vertical block uplift of the Tianshan Mountains.
