This book explores the geotectonic evolution of the lithosphere
beneath the Indian Shield, which comprises a collage of cratons
variously bounded by mobile belts and palaeo-rifts. The lithosphere
beneath these is fairly thin compared to other cratons worldwide,
petrologically varied and shows considerable variation in thickness
with depth both intra-craton and among cratons. Moreover, it has
been subjected to the influence of repeated magmatic episodes from
Proterozoic to Palaeocene, which have variously impacted different
parts of the shield. The thermotectonic influence on constituent
cratons is variable depending on the evolutionary history. This
book discusses the impact of successive tectonomagmatic events on
the evolution of the deep crust and shallow mantle, and their
Phanerozoic modification as gleaned through the xenolith window.
The book provides a petrotectonic perspective on the deep crust and
shallow mantle from direct samples brought up as xenoliths of deep
lithologies, and offers a comprehensive overview for students,
researchers, academics and professionals, integrating the results
of petrological studies of deep lithologies and geophysical
investigations to (i) shed light on the physico-chemical and
thermal structure of the lithosphere from an array of geotectonic
settings and (ii) gain insights into the spatio-temporal evolution
of the Indian Shield. An in-depth guide critical thinking on the
complex issue of mantle differentiation, magmatism, lithosphere
modification and crustal growth over time, the book allows readers
to gain a better understanding of the processes that affect the
lithosphere and shape the crust on which we live.
