THE HAZARA ARC The Hazara arc in northern Pakistan ( Figure 3 ) forms the
northwestern limit of the Indian shield . It is defined by a broad belt of subparallel
structures that delineate an arc convex to the south - southeast . These structures

South of the Salt range a number of basement faults are seismically delineated (
Figure 4 ) . The composite fault - plane solutions for these events indicate strike -
slip movement in a right - lateral sense . These solutions agree in orientation ...
