What is Himalayan Deformation from India-Eurasia Collision about?
The document discusses the tectonic setting and evolution of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau resulting from the ongoing collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. It describes how thrusting and deformation occur during plate collisions, and how the thickened continental crust under Tibet formed. The main hypotheses for crustal thickening include extensive underthrusting of India beneath Asia, distributed intracrustal thrusting on both plates, and homogeneous thickening through shortening and folding of
