![(a) Structural fabric of the Hatia Trough and the Bay of Bengal with its present kinematic setting (after Maurin and Rangin, 2009). For the kinematics, the black arrows show the motion of the India Plate with respect to the Burma Plate and the Sunda Plate (I/B and I/S, respectively). (b) East–west schematic cross section across the Indo-Burmese subduction system showing the kinematics and geometry of the major structures in depth (modified after Alam et al., 2003; Maurin and Rangin, 2009; Hossain et al., 2019). The location of the section is shown in (a). (c) Schematic 2D model showing the tectonic evolution of the structures in the eastern Hatia Trough and the western Chittagong Tripura Fold Belt. The 2D restoration of the cross section across the eastern part of the Hatia Trough indicates approximately 0.6% and approximately 1.2% shortening for the base of the Dupitila Formation and Tipam Group, respectively. However, to the east, 2D restoration of the cross section across the western Chittagong Tripura Fold Belt indicates approximately 7.0% and approximately 13.5% shortening for the base of the Dupitila Formation and the Tipam Group, respectively.
