The Bay of Bengal evolved along the eastern margin of the Indian subcontinent about 130 Ma with the breakup of India from eastern Gondwanaland. Since then the Indian lithospheric Plate has moved northward, along with the Bay of Bengal, and eventually collided with the Eurasian Plate. The age ...
During this process, the Indian tectonic plate lost most of its lithospheric mass and became thin vis-a-vis its counterparts. An average ~100 km thick Indian plate [Kumar et al., 2007] then collided with the Asian plate at ~55 Ma [Patriat and Achache, 1984; Besse et al., 1984...
At first glance, the freshwater biogeographic division, outlined above, corresponds well to the boundaries of tectonic blocks such as the Indian Plate (Indian Subregion), Burma Terrane or West Burma Block (Western Indochina Subregion), and the Sunda Plate, containing the Indochina Block and Sibum...
The Indian subcontinent, once part of Gondwana, approached and finally collided with Eurasia during the Eocene9,10, although some authors favour an earlier11 or later12 final collision. The resulting rise of the Himalaya and Tibetan plateau triggered environmental changes of global impact following ...
…formed some time after the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate. These lofty mountains marked the culmination of the great uplift that occurred during the late Cenozoic when the Indian Plate drove many hundreds of kilometres into the underbelly of Asia. They are the product of the low...
When the two finally collided (approximately 50 million years ago), the northern edge of the Indian-Australian Plate was thrust under the Eurasian Plate at a low angle. The collision reduced the speed of the oncoming plate, but the underthrusting, or subduction, of the plate has continued ...
