Google Maps and Google Earth are very common platforms today to explore maps and satellite images of the earth. But there are many other ways to explore the earth. Some are listed here. 1. Earth Explorer This map is developed by USGS helpful to obtain earth imagery across available geo-spatial data types. Users can navigate via interactive map or text search to obtain Landsat satellite imagery, Radar data, UAS data, digital line graphs, digital elevation model data, aerial photos, Sentinel satellite data, some commercial satellite imagery including IKONOS and OrbView3, land cover data, digital map data from the National Map, and many other datasets. Users can search by exact location via the interactive map or input specific coordinates to view what data types are available. 2. Sentinel Hub This platform developed by Sinergise has Sentinel, Landsat, and other Earth observation imagery easily accessible for browsing, visualization and analysi...
• First recognized by Heim and Gansser (1939) based on observations made along Garhwal and Kumaun regions of India.
• Crops out
along 2200 km length of the Himalaya from western Zanskar to Bhutan and
Arunachal Pradesh
• Intracrustal
thrust that dips northward
Variable Definations:
•
Heim and
Gansser (1939); it marks the lithological difference between the Lesser
Himalayan rocks (below) and the Higher Himalayan rocks (above)
•
Le Fort
1975; it denotes an abrupt change in metamorphic grade
•
Arita
1983; Searle et al. 2003, 2008 : the fault defines the top or basal surface of
several kilometer-thick shear zone across the lowermost part of the Higher
Himalayan rocks and the uppermost part of the Lesser Himalayan sequence
•
Bordet
(1961) was the first to map the Main Central Thrust in the Arun Valley of east
Nepal, where he placed the thrust along a prominent kyanite-bearing zone within
the sillimanite gneisses.
Southward Extension of the MCT
MCT extends to the south over the Lesser Himalaya as Nappe and Klippe
•
At Ktm:
Mahabharat Thrust
•
West
Nepal: Dadheldhura Thrust
•
Jajarkot:
Jajarkot Thrust (extension of Lower MCT)
•
Kumaun:
Almora thrust, Chamba Thrust
