The Impact of Plate Tectonics on Mountain Building in the Uttarakhand Himalaya
Uttarakhand Himalaya, plate tectonics, mountain building, duplexing model, seismic activity, geodynamics
The Uttarakhand Himalaya, a significant segment of the Himalayan range, presents a unique opportunity to study the interaction between tectonic plate movements and mountain-building processes. This research aims to analyze the role of tectonic convergence between the Indian and Eurasian plates, focusing on how these processes have shaped the region’s geological features, particularly through uplift mechanisms, seismic activity, and resultant landforms. This paper synthesizes recent literature and integrates field studies from the Garhwal and Kumaun regions, particularly focusing on duplexing and extrusion tectonic models. Understanding these processes is vital for comprehending the region's geodynamics and evaluating the seismic hazards associated with tectonic activity in the Uttarakhand Himalaya.
