Full Description
This book provides a comprehensive review of the questions related to Himalayan mountain buildings, in the light of modem concepts prevailing today. The Himalayan orogen represents the youngest and loftiest mountain chain of our globe. It is being considered as the testing ground for continent collision concepts.19 chapters presented by eminent geoscientists: Himalayan mountain building and the tectonic processes involved in it; Pre-alpine and alpine orogenic phases in the Himalaya; Himalayan orogen and global tectonics seen from the Tsangpo Suture Zone of Tibet (China); Nappe and thrust tectonics in Zanskar area (NW Himalaya); Tectonic evolution of the crust-upper-mantle of Qinghai- Xizang (Tibet);;Deep-fracture tectonics vis-a-vis the NW Himalayan orogen; Pan-Indian Gondwana Plate break-up, rewelding & evolution of the Himalaya, Indo-Burnese range and Andaman island arc; Structure & tectonics of the Garhwal Synfonn; Shontargali thurst: The Main Central Thrust (MCT) of North-western Himalaya ion Pakistan; Trans-Asiatic lineaments & Himalayan orogeny; Cretaceous marginal basins of the Indus-Kohistan collision zone Development & evolution; Imprints of global tectonic events in the Himalaya; Problems in determining earth's gravity in the Himalaya; A model of active tectonics in the Shillong Massif region; Seismicity & stress estimate for the Himalaya-Kun Lun region; The Spontang ophiolite and ophiolitic melanges of the Zanskar, NW Himalaya, tracing the evolution of the closing tethys in the Upper Cretaceous to the Early Tertiary; Plate tectonics & metallogeny in the Himalaya; etc.
