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.
