Tectonic map of the Tibetan Plateau. The background color indicates elevation and was derived from ETOPO elevation data5 obtained from the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). The dashed green lines show the suture zones6. ATSZ: Altyn Tagh suture zone; EKSZ: Eastern Kunlun suture zone; JRSZ: Jinsha River suture zone; BNSZ: Bangong-Nujiang suture zone; IYSZ: Indo-Yarlung Zangbo suture zone; MBT: Main boundary fault; EHS: Eastern Himalayan syntaxis. The figure was created by using the software GMT7. (version: GMT 4.5.7, URL link: https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/download/).
