The Bangong suture zone is a key location in the central Tibet conjugate fault zone. Approximately 1,200 km long, the suture trends in an east–west orientation. Located in central Tibet between the Lhasa (southern block) and Qiangtang (northern block) terranes, it is a discontinuous belt of ophiolites and mélange that is 10–20 km wide, up to 50 km wide in places. The northern part of the fault zone consists of northeast striking sinistral strike-slip faults while the southern part consists of northwest striking right lateral strike-slip faults. These conjugate faults to the north and south of the Bangong intersect with each other along the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone.

Situada en el Tíbet central entre los terranos de Lhasa (bloque meridional) y (bloque septentrional), es un cinturón discontinuo de ofiolitas y mélange que tiene una anchura de 10 a 20 km, hasta 50 km de ancho en algunos lugares. La parte norte de la zona de la falla consiste en fallas sinistrales de golpe-deslizamiento en el noreste, mientras que la parte sur consiste en fallas laterales de golpe-deslizamiento en el noroeste.
