Appraisal of active tectonics in Hindu Kush: Insights from DEM derived geomorphic indices and drainage analysis
Landscapes in tectonically active Hindu Kush (NW Pakistan and NE Afghanistan) result from a complex integration of the effects of vertical and horizontal crustal block motions as well as erosion and deposition processes. Active tectonics in this region have greatly influenced the drainage system and...
