Based on focal mechanism, geologic, and lineament data, faulting in the Chersky Range, northeast Asia, changes from right-lateral transpression between North America and Eurasia to left-lateral strike-slip between North America and the Okhotsk plate. The location of the Okhotsk-Eurasia boundary is poorly constrained; available data suggest this boundary is right-lateral. The Okhotsk plate is being compressed and extruded from between North America and Eurasia resulting in high levels of microseismic activity along the southern flanks of the Chersky Range. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1993
