Popis: Chronologies for the Siwalik molasse and intermontane basins along the southern margin of the Himalaya and Hindu Kush Ranges constrain the timing and pattern of facies migration and structural disruption of the Indo-Gangetic foredeep. This synthesis indicates that quiescent intervals are punctuated by pulses of rapid deformation as thrusting migrates in a stepwise fashion across the foredeep.
