The book describes the tectonic and geophysical parameters of the Indian subcontinent. It enables the reader to visualize the extension of the structural and tectonic elements and the processes underlying the evolution of the Indian lithosphere and craton. It integrates the emerging concepts and newly acquired data keeping in view the framework of plate tectonics, seismicity, neotectonics, mid-continent rifting, ridge formation, suturing together of disparate cratonic elements covering a period of over three billion years.
