India/ Burma/China border junction). One of many south-trending
mountain masses in this region, Yulongxue Shan rises to 18,800' and
the course of the Yangtze River is sharply deflected around the
prominence. As with the main ranges of the Himalaya, these have been
uplifted in response to the collision of India with the Asian
continent; along the eastern margin of the Indian block, the trend of
the ranges changes from easterly to southerly. There is also lateral
movement on the long, steeply inclined faults bounding the ranges, as
blocks are crowded out to the southeast during the continued northward
march of India.
