Tectonics and Structural Geology Indian Context

This Tectonics and Structural Geology Indian Context book presents a compilation of findings, review and original works, on the tectonic evolution and structural detail of several terrains in India.

It captures the tectonic diversity of the Indian terrain, including tectonics of India’s coastal areas, the tectonic evolution of Gondwana and Proterozoic (Purana) basins.

It also describes the research results of theIndian craton’s geo-history, Tertiary Bengal basin, and also the Himalayan collisional zone.

Thus the Tectonics and Structural Geology Indian Context book covers the deformation history of Indian terrain involving strike slip, compressional and extensional tectonics, and ductile and brittle shear deformations.
