Résumé

Asia basement China continental crust crust deformation depth Eurasian Plate exhumation fabric Far East faults fold and thrust belts geophysical methods geotraverses Himalayan Orogeny Himalayas Indian Plate Indus-Yarlung Zangbo suture zone kinematics lithosphere Main Boundary Fault mantle metamorphic rocks Mount Everest orogenic belts orogeny paleogeography paleomagnetism plate collision plate tectonics rotation seismic methods Solid-earth geophysics strike-slip faults Structural geology subduction subduction zones tectonics Tethys thrust faults Tibetan Plateau tomography transform faults upper mantle
The geology of the Himalaya has been described keeping in view the relief, seismic tomography, structural units, the rocks at depth and their exhumation. Attempt has also been made to suggest a possible model for the formation of the Himalaya.
