Model of the Indo-Asian collision illustrating rock uplift above thrust ramps (Main Himalayan Thrust) or duplexes forming topographic relief for the Gangdese Range, and a topographic divide between internal and external drainage (dashed black line) controlling flow direction of the Yarlung River (solid blue line). Himalayan gneiss domes (1) and the Gangdese Duplex (2). Structures adapted from Laskowski et al. (2018), Long et al. (2011), and Nábělek et al. (2009). (VE = 5.) GCT—Great Counter Thrust system; GT—Gangdese Thrust.
