Along the northern margin of the India-Eurasia convergent boundary is the Main Himalayan Thrust which accommodates north–south continental collision. Thrust faulting in the Hindu Kush and Himalaya region is the direct result of the plate interaction. In the Balochistan region, the convergence is highly oblique, involving the large Chaman Fault; a left-lateral strike-slip structure. While a large portion of the boundary is accommodated by strike-slip faulting, the region also hosts the Sulaiman fold and thrust belt.Kirsty Reynolds Alex Copley Ekbal Hussain Evolution and dynamics of a fold-thrust belt: the Sulaiman Range of Pakistan Geophysical Journal International 2015 201 2 683–710 10.1093/gji/ggv005 free https://academic.oup.com/gji/article/201/2/683/568354 Large thrust earthquakes including the 1934 Nepal–India earthquake were the direct result of the plate interaction. The 2005 Kashmir earthquake occurred near the vicinity of the Main Himalayan Thrust.
