Intracontinental strike-slip faults, associated magmatism, mineral systems and mantle dynamics: examples from NW China and Altay-Sayan (Siberia)

however, did not take into account thepotential influence of the magmato-tectonic interactions on thefault growth, whereas all the faults are located in a highly volcaniccontext. Indeed, the influence of magma bodies on the fault activityhas been observed both at short and long time scales in Afar, and inother extensional regions (Mastin and Pollard, 1988; Rubin andPollard, 1988; Rubin, 1992; Gudmundsson, 2003; Gudmundssonand Loetveit, 2005; Doubre et al., 2007; Doubre and Peltzer,2007; Calais et al., 2008; Biggs et al., 2009; Medynski et al., 2013,2016).
