Unraveling tectonic evolution of Greater Maldive Ridge in western Indian Ocean can reconstruct Gondwanaland break up & dispersal
In a recent study, an Indian researcher traced the tectonic evolution and the nature of the Greater Maldive Ridge (GMR) — a very crucial geodynamic features in the western Indian Ocean whose origin has been the centre of many a scientific debate.
The study can help reconstruct the original Gondwanaland break up and dispersal that led to present-day configuration of continents, continental fragments, and formation of ocean basins in the Indian Ocean.
The Maldive Ridge is an aseismic ridge that is not associated with earthquake activities. This ridge, located in the western Indian ... Read more
