Abstract
The Eastern Himalayan orogen is marked by a broad zone of complex deformation primarily caused by the northward indentation of the Indian plate, also reflected in the eastward escape of the Tibetan Plateau (e.g., Tapponnier et al, Geology 10:611–616, 1982) (Fig. 13.1). As the product of convergence between three major tectonic plates, namely, India, Eurasia and Sunda, the structural configuration of this collision boundary is different from that of the central part of the Himalayan arc.
