    Between what plates is the Tan-Lu Fault situated, epicenter of the 1976 Tangshan earthquake?

    		The Tan-Lu Fault Zone runs for over 3000 km on the northeast edge of the Asian continent. It has been generally thought to have originated as a transform fault during the Triassic collision between the South and North China Blocks. Some consider it to be formed by convergence of the Pacific Ocean plate and the Asian continent. Others consider it to be part of the rifting system of eastern China.
