The 2001 Kunlun earthquake also known as the 2001 Kokoxili earthquake, occurred on 14 November 2001 at 09:26 UTC (17:26 local time), with an epicenter near Kokoxili, close to the border between Qinghai and Xinjiang in a remote mountainous region. With a magnitude of 7.8 Mw it was the most powerful earthquake in China for 5 decades.〔(Li Li & Chen Yong 2002. Preliminary report on the Ms 8.1 Kokoxili (Qinghai, China) earthquake of 14 November 2001.Episodes, Vol. 25, no. 2, 95-99. )〕 No casualties were reported, presumably due to the very low population density and the lack of high-rise buildings. This earthquake was associated with the longest surface rupture ever recorded on land, ~450 km.〔( Klinger,Y., Xu,X., Tapponnier,P., Van der Woerd,J., Lasserre,C. & Geoffrey King,G. 2005. 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. Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 95, No. 5, pp. 1970-1987. )〕 ==Tectonic setting== The Kunlun fault is one of the major sinistral strike-slip structures that accommodate the eastward motion of the Tibetan plateau relative to the Eurasian plate. This motion is caused by the lateral spreading of the zone of thickened crust associated with the collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates.〔(Van Der Woerd J., Meriaux, A.S., Klinger, Y., Ryerson, F.J., Gaudemer, Y. & Tapponnier, P., 2002, The 14 November 2001, Mw 7.8 Kokoxili earthquake in northern Tibet (Qinghai Province, China). Seismic Research Letters, 73, pp. 125–135 )〕
