The ICMR findings call for a rethinking of what an "ideal Indian meal" should look like. "The goal is not to eliminate staples but to rebalance the plate," says Dr. Vasudevan. For instance, if a South ...

In a seismic revelation that could reshape our understanding of the planet's crust, scientists have found that the Indian Plate is splitting apart. A part of the plate’s lower layer is peeling off and ...

The Late Mesozoic breakup of Gondwana triggered major biotic exchanges between Laurasia and Gondwanan landmasses that continue to influence modern distributions of many taxa. Concerning tectonic ...

For decades scientists have been trying to understand the geologic forces driving the creation of the Himalayas, the worlds tallest mountain chain. A new study from an international team of scientist ...

During the collision of India with the Eurasian continent, the Indian plate was pushed about 500 kilometers under Tibet, reaching a depth of 250 kilometers. The result of this largest collision in ...

Figure 1: Present day remnants of two subduction zones, and plate tectonic reconstructions for 90–40 Myr. Figure 3: Observed and model rates of India–Eurasia convergence. Rates of convergence across ...

Geological investigations in the Himalayas have revealed evidence that when India and Asia collided some 90 million years ago, the continental crust of the Indian tectonic plate was forced down under ...
