Abandonment of the MCT ramp at 15 Ma causes accretion of upper Lesser Himalayan Formations rocks to the hanging wall. The solid line represents the bulk melting relationship used in the model. Isothermal contour interval is 100 C. Fig. 7 Variation in melt fraction vs. source region position in the hanging wall caused by changes in the model parameters. Note that although the fraction of melt produced decreases, the overall melt volume increases significantly.
Age contours represent melt production at the indicate times.
8 Ma hanging wall position. Contours are of melt fraction produced by 8 Ma. Slip History of Himalayan Thrusts.
