NEW DELHI: The fault line in Ladakh region, where India and Asian Plates are joined, has been found to be tectonically active, according to a new study.
The new findings, which suggest a more remote fault at the suture zone or the Indus Suture Zone (ISZ) being neo-tectonically active, could call for a serious relook into the existing evolutionary models, using new techniques and a larger geological database.
The findings can also have major implications in terms of earthquake study, prediction and understanding the seismic structure of the mountain chains. (AGENCIES)
