Figure 4.

Swath profile of areas in Figure 1. (A) Averages of sixteen 20-km-wide swaths through Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 90 m elevation and Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission 2B31 (Bookhagen and Burbank, 2006) mean annual precipitation. Topographic swath is the same for panels B, C, and D. PT—physiographic transition. (B) 20-km-wide swaths showing the location of major divides between the internally drained Tibet (ID), three rivers (TR), Yarlung (YA), and frontal Himalaya rivers (FR). Swath locations are shown in Figure 1 and colored by distance from swath center. (C) Apatite and (D) zircon thermochronology data from Thiede and Ehlers (2013) and Laskowski et al. (2018), colored by distance from the centerline, with y-axis position for cooling age. (E) Projected horizontal global positioning system (GPS) velocities in the plane of individual swaths (solid symbols) and the corresponding N and E components (Liang et al., 2013). (F) All available data for the vertical component of GPS velocities (Liang et al., 2013). Solid black lines—average of defined zones; dotted lines—one standard deviation of the mean.
