Deformation Monitoring Of Marwat-Khisor Ranges, Pakistan Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar

Main Frontal Thrust (MFT) represents the southern boundary of Himalaya, which accommodated the current orogeny of Eurasian-Indian tectonic plate’s convergence. The deformation pattern and structural style of MFT are crucial for understanding the tectonic activities. A chain of fold-and-thrust (FAT)...

Deformation Monitoring Of Marwat-Khisor Ranges, Pakistan Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar
description Main Frontal Thrust (MFT) represents the southern boundary of Himalaya, which accommodated the current orogeny of Eurasian-Indian tectonic plate’s convergence. The deformation pattern and structural style of MFT are crucial for understanding the tectonic activities. A chain of fold-and-thrust (FAT) belts (Salt-Trans Indus Ranges) are identified as the MFT in the western Himalaya. The Salt Range had propagated southward at an average rate of 5-10 mm/year in the influence of salt tectonics. Although the Trans Indus Ranges had indicated an active Quaternary tectonics, the fault slip rate and direction was unknown.
