The Indian Plate subducting below the Tibet Plateau is tearing apart
Abstract The first-order configuration of the Himalayan orogen is defined by northward motion of the Indian plate, whether directly underplating Tibetan crust or subducting beneath a mantle wedge. Here we used 3D S-wave receiver-functions from 462 seismic stations across southern Tibet and show orog...
