Lithospheric Delamination of the Pamir Driven by the Underthrusting Indian Plate as Inferred From Seismic Observations

The tectonic evolution and deformation mechanisms of the Pamir remain controversial, partly because the crustal response to deep lithospheric geodynamic processes is insufficiently constrained. Two competing lithospheric tectonic models are under consideration: subduction of the Asian slab and delamination of Pamir l...
