Principles of Tectonics, Plate Margins and causes for plate movements and mid-oceanic ridges are included. Evolution of the Himalaya and northward drift of India are some important aspects. The tectonic architecture, various structural zones and models of metamorphism are described. The Himalaya is seismically active and is prone to Earthquakes. Minor structures, major structures, petrotectonics and structural petrology are significant aspect of this book. Thrust tectonics with modern approaches and the forces which affected the Himalayan Orogen, Neotectonics etc. are included. The book would be useful for students, research scholars and geologists.
