E. Gehrels, and D. Collins Spanning eight kilometers of topographic relief, the Himalayan fold thrust belt in Nepal has accommodated more than 700 km of Cenozoic convergence between the Indian subcontinent and Asia. Rapid tectonic shortening and erosion in a monsoonal climate have exhumed greenschist to upper amphibolite facies rocks along with unmetamorphosed rocks, including a 5 6 km thick Cenozoic
