Seismic data able to resolve the crustal structure are limited in quantity and quality with respect to the size and complexity of Tibet—Himalayas. They may be interpreted as indicating a strong heterogeneity: lack of continuity of even major interfaces across strike, defining different crustal blocks, but also lack of continuity of surface tectonic features down through the whole lithosphere. A thickening by imbrication of both the upper crustal and the lower crust-upper mantle levels is suggested. Indications from recent high-resolution surveys in other domains of thickened crust are also of a less smooth geometry of structures and depth than intuitively considered.
