  Dzungaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dzungaria is named after a Mongolian kingdom which existed in Central Asia during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
As a political or geographical term Dzungaria has practically disappeared from the map; but the range of mountains stretching north-east along the southern frontier of the Land of the Seven Streams, as the district to the south-east of the Balkhash Lake is called, preserves the name of Dzungarian Alatau.
Dzungaria is a largely steppe and semidesert basin surrounded by high mountains: the Tian Shan in the south and the Altai in the north.

A second route, however, passed from northeastern Tibet, through the Tibetan holdings in the Gansu Corridor, to the crucial areas of Turfan and Beshbaliq, disputed by the Tibetans, Uighurs and Tang China until settled in favor of the Tibetans in 821.

 Welcome to Lana Panasyuk website
Kazakhstan and Dzungaria, both attached to Siberia, are separated from the Tarim by the actively rising Tien Shan mountain range.
Fault plane solutions and centroid depth determinations are compatible with shortening nearly perpendicular to the overall trends of the belt and consistent with the idea that Tien Shan overthrusts the Tarim to the south, and Kazakhstan and Dzungaria to the north.
By summing inferred moments of four earthquakes with M>7.5 in the last 90 years, it was estimated that the present day shortening rate across the Tien Shan is about 13 mm/yr.

 The Przewalski horse and restoration to its natural habitat in Mongolia
Already in 1637 a wild mare was caught in the territory of the modern Choybalsan Aimak, in the interfluvial area of the Onon and Kerulen rivers; it was later given as a gift to the Manchurian Emperor.
In accordance with the information provided by last century travellers the wild horses ranged in the vast area of Dzungaria, from the piedmont areas of the Mongol Altai in the north to the Tien Shan in the south, from longitude 86°E in the west to longitude 95°E in the east.
Within the boundaries of the restored habitat of the Przewalski horse in Dzungaria, the Stipa-Artemisia arid steppes occupy a relatively small territory, namely the northern piedmont areas of the Tien Shan and the narrow strips along the southern piedmonts of the Mongol Altai, piedmonts and low mountains of the Baitag-Bogdo and Takhin-Shara-Nuru chains, stretched longitudinally.

Avouac, J.P., Tapponnier, P., Bai, M., You, H. and Wang, G. Active thrusting and folding along the northern Tien Shan and late cenozoic rotation of the Tarim relative to Dzungaria and Kazakhstan.
Under the same assumption, serial N-S sections imply that Cenozoic shortening across the belt increases westwards to 203±50 km at the longitude of Kashgar (≈76°E), as reflected by the westward increase of the width of the belt.
This strain gradient implies a clockwise rotation of Tarim relative to Dzungaria and Kazakhstan of 7±2.5° around a pole located near the eastern extremity of the Tien Shan, west of Hami (≈96°E, 43.5°N), comparable to that revealed by paleomagnetism between Tarim and Dzungaria (8.6±8.7°).

Proud and exceptional, the people of Turkistan have never been at rest under the domination of others.
It was directly because of the powerful Mongols' force of Dzungaria in Turkistan during the 17th century that Russo-Manchu relations were established, thus bridging Russia and China for the first time.
This century, in parallel to history, Turkistan has fallen under the domain of the atheistic communism of the Russians and Chinese.

The slow infiltration went on at camel pace, which is about three miles an hour, for more than a year, and while it lasted about a hundred thousand Kazaks from what was now the Soviet Union entered East Turkistan because Communism was already threatening their traditional way of life.
