Crustal shortening and tectonic evolution of the Salt Range in Northwest Himalaya, Pakistan

Creator:

Qayyum, Mazhar

Abstract:

The Salt Range is clearly the active participant in the scenario of the progressive southward migration of the Himalayan thrust front. It extends approximately 180 km ENE along strike and is underlain by salt. This is manifested by its very narrow (<1°) cross-sectional taper and great (150 km) width. Integration...

Balanced structural cross-sections of the central Salt Range and Potwar Plateau of Pakistan : shortening and overthrust deformation

Creator:

Baker, Dan M.

Abstract:

The Salt Range and Potwar Plateau are part of the currently active foreland fold-thrust belt of the Himalaya in Pakistan. Seismic reflection data have been combined with surface mapping, drillhole and paleomagnetic information to construct balanced structural cross-sections of the current frontal thrust zone (Salt Range), and to estimate the...
