Image Caption: These photographs of the southern front
of the Himalayan ranges provide a needed perspective on stream
adjustments along the mountain front in response to rapid uplift. At
the boundary where the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates are
colliding, the Himalaya are rising -- and being denuded -- at an
estimated rate of 1 cm/year.

The five photographs above will be illustrations in a global tectonics
tutorial on Tectonic Plate Boundaries Observable from Space now in
preparation for use on the Space Station.
