In the previous article**, data were given on the clockwise rotation of the Tarim Basin at a speed of 0.461° per million years around a virtual axis within the structure. Additional fieldwork and new evidence confirm earlier findings about the asymmetry of the Indo-Asian collision zone. These data are additional arguments in favor of the rotation of the Tarim Basin and lithospheric interactions along the Tarim boundaries. Conclusions are based on detailed geological and geophysical data.
