189: 28: 51:. Slippage along the 1,500-kilometre-long (930 mi) fault has occurred at a constant rate for the last 40,000 years. This has resulted in a cumulative offset of more than 400 metres (1,300 ft). The fault is seismically active, most recently causing the 111:"High-Resolution Satellite Imagery Mapping of the Surface Rupture and Slip Distribution of the Mw ~7.8, 14 November 2001 Kokoxili Earthquake, Kunlun Fault, Northern Tibet, China" 226: 188: 219: 275: 270: 245: 212: 17: 250: 260: 255: 157:"Discovery of the Longriba Fault Zone in Eastern Bayan Har Block, China and its tectonic implication" 265: 59:.
