Fig. 1

Generalized tectonic map of north Pakistan (overlaid on a hill-shade terrain model) showing regional faults/sutures in the western Himalaya, Kohistan, and Karakoram. The political boundaries are shown with thin green lines. The black square in the inset figure (bottom right) shows the geographic location of Fig. 1 in South Asia. The black box in the center shows the spatial extent of Fig. 2 (study area) and regional geologic units of the Indian plate (NPM—Nanga Parbat Massif), Kohistan–Ladakh arcs (CC, JC, KA, KLB), and the Asian Plate (Karakoram—KB, KMC) (modified after Searle et al. 1999). CC Chilas Complex, ITSZ Indus–Tsangpo Suture Zone, JC Jijal Complex, KA Kamila Amphibolite, KB Karakoram Batholith, KF Karakoram Fault, KLB Kohistan–Ladakh batholith (and volcanics) , KMC Karakoram Metamorphic Complex, MBT Main Boundary thrust, MCT/PT Main Central thrust/Panjal thrust, MFT Main Frontal thrust, MKT Main Karakoram thrust, MMT Main Mantle thrust, NP Nanga Parbat, SRT Salt Range thrust, STD South Tibet detachment
