Earth’s Longest Straight Underwater Mountain Chain Might Have Been Formed by a Moving Hotspot
A new study from Curtin University has revealed that the Ninetyeast Ridge, the world's longest straight underwater mountain chain, was formed by a moving volcanic hotspot, not a stationary one as previously believed. Spanning 5,000 km along the Indian Ocean, the ridge was shaped by the Kerguelen hotspot, which shifted several hundred kilometres ove...

Indian Ocean Gravity Hole Might Have Been Formed After the Death of an Ancient Ocean
A vast anomaly in the Indian Ocean, called the gravity hole, has been studied for decades due to its weak gravitational pull and significantly lower sea levels. Recent findings link its origins to the ancient Tethys Ocean and mantle changes caused by tectonic plate shifts. Researchers used advanced models to simulate the geological processes, revea...

Why India Is Disappearing Under China In Tectonic Tug-Of-War
The military stand-off between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) found an amicable solution recently. However, another kind of tug-of-war between India and China - a continuous and ancient tectonic one - has been going on.

Indian Tectonic Plate Moving Below Himalayas Could Be Splitting Tibet: Study
This process may lead to more earthquakes in North India, Northeast India and Tibet, as suggested by the researchers.

India Was Part Of Antarctica Billion Years Ago: Study
Geologists have found evidence supporting the hypothesis that Indian subcontinent was part of Antarctica a billion years ago but were separated and re-united several times due to tectonic movement of plates before the evolution of mankind.
