This talk will examine the depth distribution of earthquakes in the greater Tibetan region in the context of our current understanding of lithosphere strength, composition and structure. Much has changed since the early studies of McKenzie & Fairhead (1997) and Maggi and others (2000) showed that accepted views which had remained unchallenged for 20 years needed some modification. In particular, a single generic view of the continental lithosphere is unable to account for the differences in earthquake depths, elastic thicknesses and geological histories commonly observed between ancient shields (or cratons) and younger orogenic belts.
