Tectonics of the Indian Subcontinent
Jain, A.K.

Tectonics of the Indian Subcontinent[electronic resource] /by A.K. Jain, D.M. Banerjee, Vivek S. Kale. - 1st ed. 2020. - XXIII, 576 p. 205 illus., 66 illus. in color.online resource. - Society of Earth Scientists Series,2194-9204. - Society of Earth Scientists Series,.

Tectonics of the Indian Sub-continent: An Introduction -- Indian Cratons -- Tectonics of Sri Lanka -- Proterozoic Mobile Belts -- Proterozoic ‘Purana’ Basins -- Tectonics of the Himalaya -- Trans-Himalayan and Karakoram ranges -- Deccan Volcanic Province -- Tectonics of Western Margin of India -- Geology and Tectonics of Bangladesh.

This books documents the salient characters of the tectonic evolution of the Indian subcontinent. It showcases the well investigated subcontinent of Gondwana. The book is linked to an updated geological and tectonic map of this region on 1:12,000,000 in scale. The Indian subcontinent displays almost uninterrupted and unique the geological history since about Eo-Archean (~3800 Ma) to recent, with the development of many Proterozoic deformed and metamorphosed fold belts around Archean nuclei, and enormously thick undeformed platform deposits. After their stabilization during late Proterozoic, the subcontinent underwent Paleozoic rifting and deposition of coal-bearing thick sequences, followed by enormously-thick outpouring of Deccan volcanics as a consequence of huge mantle plume. The youngest event in its evolution is the Cenozoic Himalayan Orogenic Mountains, spanning the area between Nanga Parbat and Namcha Barwah; a part of which extends both in Pakistan and Myanmar.
