文摘A dynamic coupling between climate-induced erosion and tectonics is envisaged for the growth of the Himalaya.The Dhauladhar Range(NW Himalaya),between the Beas and Ravi rivers,shows large altitude variation along the regional trend from southeast to northwest.The altitude rises between 5000 m and 4000 m in the eastern part and decreases between<4000 m and 2800 m in the western part.Eastern part of the Range is characterized with focused and highest precipitation,concentration of microseismicity and the formation of Kangra Basin to its south;whereas all these features are lacking in the western part.
