The collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates formed the Himalayas, the largest orogenic belt on Earth. The entire region accommodates shallow earthquakes, wheras intermediate-depth earthquakes are concentrated at the eastern and western Himalayan syntaxis. Here we investigate the source and structural properties of three earthquake sequences, which are located at the western, central and eastern areas of the Himalayan orogenic belt, respectively.
