Abstract	TheWest Kunlun Mountains forms the northwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau and is one of the key regions for understanding the uplift history of the Plateau and the geological structure of central Asia. This paper tries to figure out the geomorphologic and geological features of this region qualitatively through studying the data of Shuttle Reader Topography Mission (SRTM) and topographic maps by digital elevation models (DEMs) and constructing profiles, aiming to make clear what functions the tectonics and climate exert on the topography of the West Kunlun Mountains. Our results demonstrate that the tectonics play an important role to the topographic form in West Kunlun Mountains.
