Crustal heterogeneities and geothermal gradients beneath thrust …

The tectonic framework of northeast India is complex and is seismically one of the active regions of the world. The study region lies between two young orogenic belts – Himalayan arc orogen to the north and N–S trending crescent-shaped Indo-Burmese Ranges to the east (figure 1).It is believed that the Indian plate is under thrusting at low angles beneath the …
