Active tectonic of the Medlicott Wadia Thrust (Western Himalaya) inferred from morphotectonic analysis
V Vignon, JL Mugnier, A Replumaz… - AGU Fall Meeting …, 2010 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
We study the main emergence of the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT), in the western
Himalaya. The MHT is the active Indian/Asian plate boundary and is responsible for M> 8
shallow earthquakes. Its main emergence in west Himalaya occurred along the Medlicott
Wadia Thrust (MWT) responsible for the 2005 M 7.6 Balakot earthquake in Pakistan. In the
Riasi area, two major rivers, the Chenab and the Anji, have built large fluvial terraces across
the MWT. We have mapped the geometry of the terraces and the elevation of the tectonic …
