The 1000-km-long Tan-Lu fault zone is among the largest continental strike-slip faults in the world. In its geological history the Tan-Lu fault has experienced an extensional process and split into four major branches in Shandong Province. Evidence from previous geochemistry and receiver function studies suggest that there may be upwellings of mantle material beneath the Shandong section of the Tan-Lu fault zone, though no seismologic evidence has yet been found due to low resolution in the deep crust.
