ranging from 3-8 m. The 14 C dating data imply that the latest seismic event before the 2001 Mw 7.8 Central Kunlun earthquake occurred at 430 ± 50 yr B.P. near the Kunlun Pass in the Kunsai Lake segment. We estimate an average slip rate of 10 ± 2 mm/yr based on typical 4-5 m offset and 430 ± 50 yr recurrence interval of large earthquake. Similarly, we can calculate an apparent slip rate of 10± 1 mm/yr based on 275 ± 15 m lateral offset of stream channels and fluvial fans occurred about 27 500 yr B.P. to the east of the Kunlun Pass. Previous studies also inferred an average slip rate of 11.5 ± 2.0 mm/yr based on cosmogenic age dating data and terrace riser offsets along the Xidatan-Dongdatan and Dongxi-Anyemaqin segments during the Late Quaternary. Therefore, we can estimate that the Kunlun fault likely began the left-lateral strike-slip faulting at 5 ± 0.5 Ma based on total 55 km displacement and a long-term average strike-slip rate 10 ± 1.5 mm/yr. Therefore, this study provides an acceptable timing constraint on initiation of left-lateral strike-slip faulting of the Kunlun fault zone.
