The field of crustal velocity in Asia calculated from Quaternary rates of slip on faults

Rates of Quaternary faulting, when treated as measures of strain rates within regions several times larger than the depths of brittle faulting, yield a velocity field for Asia that matches the average relative velocity between the Indian and Eurasian plates over the past 2 Myr (NUVEL-1A), and the ve...
