چکیده انگلیسی
The seismotectonic scenario of the northwest part of the India-Asia collision zone is studied by analyzing the local earthquake data (MÂ ~Â 1.4-4.3) recorded by a broadband seismological network consisting of 14 stations. Focal Mechanism Solutions (FMSs) of 13 selected earthquakes were computed through waveform inversion of three-component broadband records. Depth distribution of the earthquakes and FMSs of local earthquakes obtained by waveform inversion reveal kinematics of the major fault zones present in eastern Ladakh. A most pronounced cluster of seismicity is observed in the Karakoram Fault (KF) zone down to a depth of ~Â 65Â km. The FMSs reveal a transpressive environment with an inferred strike slip fault plane parallel to the KF. It is argued that the KF penetrates down to the lower crust and is a manifestation of active underthrusting of Indian lower crust beneath Tibet. Two clusters of microseismicity are observed at a depth range 5-20Â km at the northwestern and southeastern fringes of the Tso Morari gneiss dome, which can be correlated to the activities along the Zildat fault and Karzok fault, respectively. The FMSs obtained for representative earthquakes show thrust fault solutions for the Karzok fault, and normal fault solutions for the Zildat fault. It is suggested that the Zildat fault is acting as a detachment, facilitating the exhumation of the Tso Morari dome. On the other hand, the Tso Morari dome is underthrusting the Karzok ophiolite at its southern margin along the Karzok fault due to gravity collapse.
