Abstract

Ground elevation changes associated with great earthquakes in the Himalaya appear to contribute significantly to differential uplift of the Outer or Siwalik Himalaya relative to the Lesser Himalaya. The differential uplift of the Higher or Great Himalaya relative to the Lesser Himalaya appears to be the cause of many small and micro-earthquakes of the Himalayan seismic belt.
