West–east transition from underplating to steep subduction in the India–Tibet collision zone revealed by receiver-function profiles

Closely-spaced receiver-function profiles in the east-central India–Tibet collision zone reveal drastic west–east changes of the crustal and upper mantle structure. West of ∼91.5°E, we show the Indian crust-mantle boundary (Moho) extending subhorizontally from ∼50 km depth below sea level under the...
