Relationships between right-lateral shear along the Karakoram fault and metamorphism, magmatism, exhumation and uplift: evidence from the K2-Gasherbrum-Pangong ranges, north Pakistan and Ladakh
The Karakoram fault is a major NW-SE-aligned dextral strike-slip fault that has accommodated minor extrusion of thickened Tibetan crust since the Mid-Miocene. Controversy exists as to whether the fault is lithospheric in scale, resulting in synkinematic metamorphism and granite melting, or whether i...
