A 48 km long zone of surface deformation produced by the Ms = 7.3 intracontinental earthquake of 2003 in Gorny Altai is studied in its five segments between the Aktru and Irbistu rivers, where ruptures show the greatest offsets and distinct structural patterns. A total of 554 coseismic ruptures of five slip geometry types are analyzed in terms of length, orientation, and relative percentage. The rupture patterns are discussed with reference to previously published evidence and compared with other strike-slip zones worldwide.
