The tectonic evolution of the Indian plate, which started in Late Jurassic about 167million
years ago (~ 167Ma) with the breakup of Gondwana, presents an exceptional and intricate …

Published models for the Cretaceous seafloor‐spreading history of East Gondwana result in
unlikely tectonic scenarios for at least one of the plate boundaries involved and/or violate …

Convective circulation of the mantle causes deflections of the Earth's surface that vary as a
function of space and time. Accurate measurements of this dynamic topography are …

The Indian Plate has been the focus of intensive research concerning the flood basalts of the
Deccan Traps. Here we document a volcanostratigraphic analysis of the offshore segment of …

New geophysical data collected at the Aden‐Owen‐Carlsberg (AOC) triple junction between
the Arabia, India, and Somalia plates are combined with all available magnetic data across …

This paper synthesizes the framework and geological evolution of the Arctic Alaska–
Chukotka microplate (AACM), from its origin as part of the continental platform fringing …

The role of extensional tectonics in the generation of basaltic melt and eruption of
continental flood basalts is controversial, and yet it remains crucial to understanding the …

The available plate-tectonic evolution models suggest that the deep ocean basins adjoining
the western continental margin of India have evolved largely due to break-up and dispersal …

The persistence of significant topography in ancient, tectonically inactive orogenic belts
remains one of the outstanding questions in geomorphology. In southern Peninsular India …

Microcontinents separate due to ridge jumps associate either asymmetric sea floor
spreading or plume–ridge interactions. India separated from Seychelles at∼ 64 Ma by …
