  2. Indus-Yarlung suture zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indus-Yarlung_suture_zone

    The Indus-Yarlung suture zone or the Indus-Yarlung Tsangpo suture is a tectonic suture in southern Tibet and across the north margin of the Himalayas which resulted from the collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate starting about 52 Ma. [1] The north side of the suture zone is the Ladakh Batholith of the Karakoram-Lhasa Block.

  3. Ordos Block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordos_Block

    All the margins of the Ordos Block are tectonically active. The style of tectonics varies around the block, with reverse faulting at its southwestern corner along the Liupanshan Fault. Rifting to the northwest and north on the Yinchuan, Jilantai and Hetao Basins and rifting within a zone of distributed right lateral strike-slip along its ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_the_Himalayas

    The modern day rate of convergence between the Indian and Eurasian plates is measured to be approximately 17 mm/yr. [21] This convergence is accommodated through seismic activity in active fault zones. As a result, the Himalayan range is one of the most seismically active regions in the world.

  5. Main Central Thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Central_Thrust

    [6] By strain, the Main Central Thrust is defined as a broad zone which a few kilometers thick. This zone accommodates most of the ductile shear zones and brittle thrust faults between the lowermost part of the Greater Himalayan Crystalline complex and the uppermost part of the Lesser Himalayan Sequence. [7] [8]

  6. Enriquillo–Plantain Garden fault zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriquillo–Plantain...

    Gonâve microplate showing main fault zones.. The Enriquillo–Plantain Garden fault zone (EPGFZ or EPGZ) is a system of active coaxial left lateral-moving strike slip faults which runs along the southern side of the island of Hispaniola, where Haiti and the Dominican Republic are located. [1]

  7. Karakoram fault system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakoram_fault_system

    The southern segment of the Karakoram Fault shows that only 120 km of dextral motion is evident from offset of geologic features, such as the Indus River and the South Kailas Thrust, [1] and that the strain in this region is almost entirely accommodated for by a north–south shortening in the Himalaya, just south of the Indus Suture Zone. [4]

  8. Main Frontal Thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Frontal_Thrust

    The Main Frontal Thrust (MFT), also known as the Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT), is a geological fault in the Himalayas that defines the boundary between the Himalayan foothills and Indo-Gangetic Plain. [1]

  9. Tectonic subsidence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectonic_subsidence

    Tectonic subsidence is the sinking of the Earth's crust on a large scale, relative to crustal-scale features or the geoid. [1] The movement of crustal plates and accommodation spaces produced by faulting [2] brought about subsidence on a large scale in a variety of environments, including passive margins, aulacogens, fore-arc basins, foreland basins, intercontinental basins and pull-apart basins.
