The
top view shows the contact between rocks of the Indian continent (reddish coloured,
low on the mountainside) over-ridden by rocks of the Asian mass (actually part
of the Kohistan island arc - slightly greenish - running up to the peaks). Joins
like this are called SUTURES.
Here the suture is accompanied by lots so shearing. Rocks on either side are
streaked out. Granite sheets in the Kohistan mass are folded and pulled apart,
as seen in the cliff side. Rocks of the Indian continent are also streaked.
They
also show evidence for metamorphism such as this large garnetiferous pod.
