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...
According to Yin 2006, the Himalaya has been politically, geographically, structurally, and stratigraphically defined.
Geographically, the Himalayan range lies between its eastern and western syntaxis as represented by the Namche Barwa and Nanga Parbat peaks.
The Himalayan orogen is defined by the Indus– Tsangpo suture in the north, the left-slip Chaman fault in the west, the right-slip Sagaing fault in the east, and the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT) in the south.
The Himalayan tectonic system is a broader concept than the Himalayan orogen. It consists of the Himalayan orogen, the active Himalayan foreland basin (=Indo-Gangetic depression), and the Indus and Bengal Fans. All of these features were produced by the Indo-Asian collision.
