Early Cenozoic rapid flight enigma of the Indian subcontinent resolved: Roles of topographic top loading and subcrustal erosion
Intrinsic magmatic processes are considered as critical operators of plate movements. Here we demonstrate the role of extrinsic processes consequent to intrinsic processes as a catalyst for anomalous rapid plate movement.

| Summary: | Intrinsic magmatic processes are considered as critical operators of plate
movements. Here we demonstrate the role of extrinsic processes consequent to intrinsic
processes as a catalyst for anomalous rapid plate movement. The rapid and accelerated
flight of the Indian subcontinent since Deccan volcanism until its collision with Eurasia
remains as one of the geological conundrums. |
