Nd composition changes mark the Main Central Thrust. For example, an average Nd Epsilon value of −21.5 has been reported in the Lesser Himalayan Sequence while an average Nd Epsilon value of −16 has been reported in the Greater Himalayan Sequence. [6] By strain, the Main Central Thrust is defined as a broad zone which a few kilometers thick.
The three main rock units: the LHS, GHC, and THS all have a hotly debated relationship with each other involving two main fault lines. One is the Main Central Thrust (MCT), and the other is the South Tibetan Detachment (STD). Tectonics geologists agree that the GHC, between the LHS and the THS, is between these two faults and is somehow being ...
The Lesser Himalayan Zone has a lower relief and elevation of the mountains compared to Greater Himalaya. The Lesser Himalaya Sequence (LHS) is bounded by two main thrusts: the Main Central Thrust (MCT) in the north and the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) in the south. [2] Geographic locations of major formations discussed.
The Surkhet-Ghorahi thrust fault is a northwest trending fault in Central Nepal. [7] It stretches from Surkhet to Ghorahi in over an extent of 90–120 km (56–75 mi). [ 8 ] At the western bank of the Bheri River , the fault slips at a rate of 0.75 mm (0.030 in)/yr. [ 9 ] The fault shows vertical fault scarp of 30 m (98 ft).
From south to north, the zones and the major faults separating them are the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT), Subhimalaya Zone (also called Sivalik), Main Boundary Thrust (MBT), Lesser Himalaya (further subdivided into the "Lesser Himalayan Sedimentary Zone (LHSZ) and the Lesser Himalayan Crystalline Nappes (LHCN)), Main Central thrust (MCT), Higher ...
The Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) is a décollement under the Himalaya Range. This thrust fault follows a NW-SE strike , reminiscent of an arc, and gently dips about 10 degrees towards the north, beneath the region.

This is a comparison of English dictionaries, which are dictionaries about the language of English.The dictionaries listed here are categorized into "full-size" dictionaries (which extensively cover the language, and are targeted to native speakers), "collegiate" (which are smaller, and often contain other biographical or geographical information useful to college students), and "learner's ...
