The Nanga Parbat-Haramosh massif (NPHM) is a north-south trending
structural and topographic high, which interrupts the east-west trend
of the Himalaya in northern Pakistan. Previously, the massif was
thought to be bounded by the Main Mantle thrust (MMT), a north-dipping
thrust along which the Kohistan-Ladakh arc was thrust south over...
The collision of the Indian subcontinent with Asia beginning 40 million years ago
produced the Himalayan orogenic belt, the largest continental collision belt active today. The foreland fold-and-thrust belt in northern Pakistan consists of the Salt Range-Potwar Plateau area. In this region the distance from the Main Boundary Thrust(MBT) to...
Gravity data along a N-S profile from Kohistan to the Punjab plain of Pakistan
have been incorporated into recent interpretation of the gross structure of the foreland
fold and thrust belt of the Himalaya. In northern Pakistan large deviations from Airy
Isostatic equilibrium are observed. An excess of mass characterizes...
