A deep earthquake has occurred probably within the downgoing Indo-Australia plate. The moment tensor shows oblique extension (part strike-slip, part normal). The depth aligns with the depth of the plate given the Hayes et al. (2012)<\/a> slab models (which ends immediately adjacent to this earthquake, probably due to the more complicated double collision\/subduction zone here).

\nHere is his map showing where he interprets the continental crust to be (which matches what I know of it, based on the literature I have read).
