At the top of the world, there is a sea—the remains of one, at least. The summit rocks of Mount Everest, the highest ...

The crustal and mantle melting aligns with exposed young magmatic rocks in the Hoh-Xil ... Many thought the northward expansion of Tibetan topography happened gradually, but the evidence for ...

causing crustal shortening and uplift, and west-east stress, leading to lateral crustal movements. These processes contribute to Himalayan formation and influence regional fault systems and ...

These forces cause crustal uplift, lateral movements, and seismic activity that contribute to the ongoing rise of the Himalayas. Residents in Kathmandu, 400 kilometers from the epicenter ...

The results allow us to formulate a preliminary hypothesis that a rigid lateral extrusion model may control the nonuniformity of the local stress field in the Xianshuihe fault zone and preferentially ...

The crustal low-velocity zone (LVZ), an important anomaly found in some regional structures of Iceland, is still absent in the Icelandic average velocity structure due to limitations of tomography ...
