Eround1[edit]

I like your page, very good and easy to understand information, I found a few gramatical errors like:

Because the Himalaya form on the leading edge of a collisional tectonic event, it stands to reason that many structural features will form in this area.

and here:

Tectonics geologists agree that the GHC, between the LHS and the THS, is between these two faults and is somehow being moved towards the surface and being exposed today.

I'm not sure if the wording in these sentences is supposed to be like that or not, just bringing it to attention. I also believe that you need to fix your pictures that are on your page so the thumb nails will show up a little larger than what they are now. Maybe add a little more on the Importance? Other than that I like the page! EJR (talk) 01:40, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

David[edit]

Overall I think the article is fairly good. It is well referenced and the figures are easily understood but I think you should also include a caption for them rather that just having the name in the image. Also it would probably be a good idea to include at least some basic information about the different rock units in this article rather than telling the readers to look at another page. The three different models that are mentioned could also be explained in a bit more detail. DavidMP1 (talk) 8:11, 14 November 2012

Logan[edit]

Use less Acronyms. Spell out the words so readers do not get confused.

In the intro, describe briefly in simple words what a detachment is. This would be extremely helpful To a reader uneducated in geology.

You have a couple grammatical errors. Just read through slowly and you will catch a few things that should be re-worded.

If possible add more history of the detachment.

I would add a separate category to specifically talk about the rock types and formations instead of just jumping into it at the beginning.
Add image of location, maybe Map/satellite view.

Where is it.[edit]

Reading this message gives very little clue where or what the STD is. The map shows two faults to the east, where the coloured bits end.

Looking at the various diagrams, i would suppose it's the northern side of the coloured bit on the map, and the MCT is the southern side of the coloured region. So the coloured region would represent the exposed part of the wedge or pipe in the diagram.

It probably would have been clearer to say like this

The Himilayan range lies on a separate piece between the MCT fault (on the south) and the STD fault on the north. This is part of the asian tectonic plate that has broken off as the asian landmass rose over the indian subcontinent.
