Transpression due to the plates interacting is associated with high seismicity within the shallow crust. Seismicity is detectable to a depth of 300 km (190 mi) beneath Afghanistan due to plate subduction.[10] Deep earthquakes beneath the Hindu Kush are the result of movement on faults accommodating detachment of the subducted crust.[11] The Chaman Fault is a major transform fault associated with large shallow earthquakes that forms the transpressional boundary between the Eurasian and Indian Plates.
