wnw-trending
1.The East Kunlun active fault is an important WNW-trending boundary fault on the northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
2.Relatively large WNW-NW-trending faults seem controll the occurrence of three coal-accumulating stages, while WNW-NW-trending anticlines inside the central fault may controll the coal-accumulating centres and districts.
3.And it is indicated that Western Guangxi is under an action of principal compression stress trending approximately EW or WNW-ESE direction since Ceno-zoic era, which results the NW striking fault zone featuring a left-lateral motion and showing a typical tectonogeomorphology of strike-slip fault zone.
