The effective elastic thickness (T e) is a geometric measure of the flexural rigidity of the
lithosphere, which describes the resistance to bending under the application of applied …

The formation and growth of continental crust in the Archean have been evaluated through
models of subduction–accretion and mantle plume. The Nilgiri Block in southern India …

Tectonic inheritance deals with the influence of pre-existing or pre-rift elements on the
geometry, genesis and propagation of rift-related faults. Inheritance strongly controls the …

Abstract Linear chains of Deformed Alkaline Rocks and Carbonatites (DARCs) mark sutures
where continents had rifted apart and later amalgamated. Since DARCs are products of two …

This paper is concerned with the spatial variation of the elastic thickness (T e) in the
Himalayan–Tibetan orogen and its implications for the understanding of lithospheric …

Abstract The Southern Granulite Terrain in India is a collage of crustal blocks ranging in age
from Archean to Neoproterozoic. This study investigate the tectonic evolution of one of the …

The Singhbhum craton is among the five Archean cratons of Peninsular India that preserves
some of the oldest continental nuclei. In this work, we present a new and complete Bouguer …

Abstract The Rengali Province is a shear zone bounded discrete domain of amalgamation
among two Archean Cratons viz. the Singhbhum and Bastar cratons and a mobile belt …

Geophysical studies of the tectonic links between Sri Lanka and India are limited, and
consequent paleo‐fit configurations differ and remain uncertain. Here, we present first‐order …

Intracratonic basins tend to subside much longer than the timescale predicted by thermal
relaxation of the lithosphere. Many hypotheses have been suggested to explain their …
