Geodynamic models of Indian continental flat slab subduction with implications for the topography of the Himalaya-Tibet region
Abstract The slab structure and high elevation of the Himalaya-Tibet region and their underlying mechanisms have been widely discussed. Many studies interpret a flat slab segment of Indian continental lithosphere located below the overriding plate, but interpretations of the northward extent of the...
