A study on tectonic plates that converge on the Tibetan Plateau has shown that Earth's fault lines are far weaker and the ...

The Tibetan Plateau stands as a monumental record of continental collision and subsequent geodynamic evolution, offering compelling insights into both regional and global tectonic processes.

The 2.5 million sq km plateau, averaging over 4,500 m elevation, spans China, India, Nepal and more. Formed by India's crash into Eurasia, it challenges classic plate tectonics.

Tibet and Nepal lie along a major geological fault line where the Indian tectonic plate converges with the Eurasian plate, ...

As the second largest dust source on the globe, the tectonic and climatic evolution of continental Asia has an important impact on regional and global climate change and has been of interest to ...

Using an unprecedented amount of high-resolution satellite data, researchers have found that Earth’s fault lines are far weaker—and continents far less rigid—than long-standing geological models ...

The analysis and interpretation of the Dachaidan area, Qaidam Basin, is difficult, owing to the colocation of two groups of thrust faults (N–E faults and N–W faults) there and the area’s complicated ...

Earthquakes and volcanism occur as a result of plate tectonics. The movement of tectonic plates themselves is largely driven by the process known as subduction. The question of how new active ...
