A study on tectonic plates that converge on the Tibetan Plateau has shown that Earth's fault lines are far weaker and the ...
Topographic map of the Tibetan Plateau. Major rifts in south-central Tibet are labeled. The arrow indicates the Indian plate motion. The circles are intermediate-depth earthquakes (>=70 km, unusually ...
Using an unprecedented amount of high-resolution satellite data, researchers have found that Earth’s fault lines are far weaker—and continents far less rigid—than long-standing geological models ...

Tibet being stretched and squeezed: Scientists confirm Earth's fault lines are weak
The 2.5 million sq km plateau, averaging over 4,500 m elevation, spans China, India, Nepal and more. Formed by India's crash into Eurasia, it challenges classic plate tectonics.
This study is led by Prof. Guangsheng Zhou (State Key Laboratory of Severe Weather, Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences) and Prof. Hongrui Ren (Department of Geomatics, Taiyuan University of ...
