The central Myanmar region is the southward extension of the Tibetan Plateau through the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis and is largely situated above the obliquely subducting Indian slab beneath the Eurasian Plate (Figure 1). At present, the Indian Plate moves at a direction of about N50°E in a no-net-rotation reference frame based on the NNR-MORVEL56 model (Argus et al., 2011), with a convergence rate of 13-17 mm/yr
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
