The article analyzes how strain partitioning developed within the Ama Drime Massif and the Leo Pargil Dome in order to further understand the kinematic evolution of the orogen in the transitional zone between crustal shortening in the foreland and orogen-parallel extension in southern Tibet. It observes that the Leo Pargil dome was exhumed from depths near the Tethyan Sedimentary Sequence while the Ama Drime Massif was exhumed from some of the deepest positions exposed in the central Himalayas.
