a Simplified geological map of the Lhasa terrane, southern Tibet (After China Geological Survey48). Numbered bold lines (5–7) indicate the INDEPTH seismic profiles that were deployed on both sides of the YZS; (b): zoomed-in map showing more details of surface geology of the research area. The inset shows the location of the research area (red box) in a larger context. Blue solid lines represent the location of seismic arrays with distribution of detonated shots and CDP numbers.
