An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Karakoram fault is an oblique-slip fault system in the Himalayan region across India and Asia. The slip along the fault accommodates radial expansion of the Himalayan arc, northward indentation of the Pamir Mountains, and eastward lateral extrusion of the Tibetan plateau. Current plate motions suggest that the convergence between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate is around 44±5 mm per year in the western Himalaya-Pamir region and approximately 50±2 mm per year in the eastern Himalayan region.

  • 喀喇昆仑断层是喜马拉雅区域一套斜滑断层系统。沿着断层的滑动加速了喜马拉雅山弧的放射状扩张、帕米尔高原的向北缩进和青藏高原的向东挤压。以目前的板块运动计算,印度洋板块和欧亚板块的汇聚在喜马拉雅-帕米尔地区西部可达44±5mm/年,东喜马拉雅地区达50±2mm/年。 (zh)
