Wedge of Himalayans in QUAKE ZONE Subducting!




Yes, for the uninitiated, YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST! And given the poor state of the economy, this may be the only place you hear about it. Translated from geojournaljargon it means that the Himalayans are compressing in a wedge and squeezing under this location at the yellow star in the BIG QUAKE zone. This looks like one of those cute geo stories where over millions of years everything crunches through this tight doorway until there is nothing left! Which might be a better scenario than the one that has India rotating around with Japan. There was also an Andaman Quake at the same time!
