developed a forearc basin (which is a sedimentary basin formed between a subduction zone and a volcanic arc) that trapped the destroyed sediments from Tibet.

Therefore, the ongoing movement along the fault continued. Third, part of the Indian crust was pushed on the oncoming subcontinent and the accretionary wedge and the forearc basin were pushed northward
