Talk:Geology of Nepal

Full of jargon
This article is full of jargon that is not accessible to the average reader. Here is a list of unknown (to this reader) terms: orogen, ok; suture, ok; thinned margin, ok; Cambrian±Eocene Tethyan shelf sequence; Tectonostratigraphic; foreland basin, ok; mollassic, ok; fluvial deposits, ok; Neogene; ok; trace of the Main Frontal Thrust; flexural foredeep; MBT, ok; Main Central Thrust (MCT); metasedimentary; allochthonous; paraautochthonous; nappes, ok; klippes; overlie, ok; low- to medium grade, ok; Proterozoic, ok; clastic, ok; Argillo-arenaceous, ok; siliciclastic, ok; anticlinorium, ok; Tibetan-Tethys Zone, ok; Kyanite-Sillimanite gneiss, ok; Pyroxenic, ok; Augen gneiss, ok; HHC, ok; kyanite- to sillimanite-grade gneisses, ok; leucogranites, ok; metapelites, ok; metagreywackes ok; protolith, ok; Tibetan-Tethys, ok


 * These seem to be normal terms, sorry. The abbreviations are used in the literature too: Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT), Main Boundary Thrust (MBT), Main Central Thrust (MCT), High Himalayan Crystalline units (HHC), Higher Himalayan zone (HHZ), North Himalayan Normal fault (NHNF), South Tibetan Detachment system (STDS), Tibetan Tethys Series (TSS). --Chris.urs-o (talk) 15:24, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

The purpose of an encyclopedia is to make knowedge accessible to reasonably educated laypeople. Here we have an article written by a geologist, for other geologists. Unacceptable. LADave (talk) 12:49, 12 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Added links to several terms ... the beauty of Wikipedia is the ability to follow links to unknown terms and learn a bit. That said-n-done, yes the article is quite technical and could use a bit of TLC for the benefit of those lacking in geologic savvy. Vsmith (talk) 01:06, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
