The kinematic property of the red">Wenchuan earthquake’s surface rupture changes from strike-slip with slightly smaller dip-slip component to the dominant dextral strike-slip at the northeasternmost region between Shikan in Pingwu County and Woqian in Qingchuan County. No surface rupture evidence was found at Donghekou village in Qingchuan County, so the authors infer that the surface rupture zone didn’t spread through the Qingshui River and the structural geomorphology reflected variant vertical motion. In the course of the Wenchuan earthquake, the tectonic deformation on the surface along the central fault was adjusted within the range of the central fault, and didn’t transfer to the external regions.
