In the westernmost Himalaya, the Indian Plate is thought to slip beneath the Potwar and Kohat plateaux on a layer of viscous material in an entirely aseismic manner. Analysis of InSAR data from 1992 shows that slip occurred during a rare Mw 6.0 earthquake, implying that the Kohat Plateau is locally grounded.
