"The tectonic evolution of the Dras-Nindam Terrane, Ladakh Himalaya, NW" by Jessica Margaret June Walsh
Unravelling the tectonic processes responsible for the uplift of the Himalaya requires in-depth investigation of individual terranes caught up along the Indus Suture Zone that separates the continents of India and Eurasia. The Himalayan Orogen represent the complex amalgamation of, not only the two colliding continents with one plate subducting underneath the other, but also fragments of oceanic crust (ophiolites) and intraoceanic arcs that developed within the vast expanse of the now extinct Neotethyan Ocean.
