18.1 Introduction

The collision of the Indian and Asian plates was initiated during the Early Eocene Epoch (Yin and Harrison, 2000; Dupont-Nivet et al., 2010), following severe shortening of crustal material (Goswami et al., 2021) and development of southward propagating (Goswami et al., 2018) thrust sheets. This collision resulted in development of the largest active collisional orogen of the world (Yin, 2006), the Himalayan mountain belt, as well as uprising of the Tibetan Plateau (Hodges, 2000). The subduction of the Indian plate underneath the Asian plate is still ongoing (Burgess et al., 2012), which is well specified by small to catastrophic earthquakes. Various geomorphic expressions have been ...
