The Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas were produced by one between India and Eurasia.
Compression stresses accomodated on reverse and thrust faults are usually the dominant tectonic stresses in these regions. One subtype can experience deep-focus earthquakes and is associated with island arc and oceanic trench systems. The Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas were produced by one between India and Eurasia. For 10 points—subduction zones are a kind of what boundary type, where two tectonic plates collide?
Compression stresses accomodated on reverse and thrust faults are usually the dominant tectonic stresses in these regions.
