<正>What happens to the Indian mantle lithosphere(IML)during the Indian-Eurasian collision and what role it has played are fundamental questions that remain unanswered.Here,we show clear images of the IML from high-resolution P and S tomography.We find that the topmost mantle of the southern and central Tibetan
