The dynamic variations of the strain field and associated tectonic deformation during fault evolution can provide useful insights into the fault growth mechanisms. As one of the longest strike-slip fault system in the world, the ∼3000-km length Tan–Lu fault zone (TLFZ) in eastern China, is ideal for...
