The research shows that the Indian Plate, which pushed against the Eurasian Plate around 50 million years ago, continues to crack, bend, and shift deep within the Earth, suggesting that the collision's aftershocks are far from over. Using advanced 3D seismic imaging, scientists discovered that the Indian Plate is not moving as a single unit. Instead, it is fracturing and twisting beneath Tibet, particularly in the Yadong-Kona-Sangri rift
