The Main Boundary Thrust and Main Central Thrust of the Himalaya are

  • A.major north-dipping thrust planes carrying the range southward
  • B.normal faults dropping the range into the plains
  • C.strike-slip faults offsetting the range laterally
  • D.unconformities separating two unrelated sedimentary sequences

Answer: A

The collision has stacked the Himalaya on a series of thrusts that dip beneath the range, and slip on them is what produces its great earthquakes. Naming the thrusts is naming the geological sources of that seismicity.
