Geophysical methods can give an idea of the deeper crust. On the fringes of the Deccan plateau, you do get exposures of Proterozoic sedimentary rocks and Archean basement too. Seychelles has a similar geology to our basalt terrain since it broke away from the Indian continent during and after the eruptions. Madagascar too has geology similar to South Indian terrains as it too is a fragment that broke away from the southern part of the Indian continent.

There is no oceanic plate subducting under the Indian peninsula. The western and eastern margins of India are divergent margins i.e. they have formed during continental breakup as India separated from Africa, Antarctica and Australia and then moved away. Subsidence of the western margin is because of movement along faults that formed during continental separation and not during subduction. Only the northern margin is convergent i.e. it formed by initial subduction and later collision with Asia. <br /><br />There are several plausible reasons for the easterly tilt of the Indian Peninsula.. I have listed them in this earlier post - <br /><br />https://suvratk.blogspot.com/2011/09/easterly-tilt-of-deccan-plateau.html<br /><br />hope this helps.<br /><br />thanks for reading!Suvrat Kherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281172632784780810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859094080858570248.post-85656291585808708422019-01-12T05:18:18.652+05:302019-01-12T05:18:18.652+05:30Hi.

I take thousands of students on field every year and teach them about nature and it's various living and non living forms.<br />Long back I was told by one my seniors that an oceanic plate subducted under Indian peninsula and tilted it towards east(causing all major rivers to flow eastwards). This subduction accelerated the sinking process of western edge of the plateau. Do you have more info about this event? Thanking you in advance.Makarand A.Ketkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791173279460405292noreply@blogger.com
