The Bayan Har block or Bayan Kola block is an elongate wedge-shaped block that forms part of the eastern

South China block.[3][4]

Seismicity

Earthquakes are mainly concentrated on the faults bounding the block, such as the 2001 Kunlun earthquake (on the Kunlun Fault), the 2008 Sichuan earthquake (on the Longmenshan Fault) and the 1973 Luhuo earthquake, 1981 Dawu earthquake and 2010 Yushu earthquake (all on the Xianshuihe fault system).[1] In May 2021, the block hosted the Maduo earthquake; upon further analysis, found that the intraplate earthquake occurred on a fault within the block.[5]
