The study proposes a process wherein the Indian Plate separates into higher and lower layers.

Why one of the biggest countries in the world is on the brink of bifurcation.

The Himalayas continue to grow as the Indian and Eurasian plates collide, but scientists say the process may be peeling apart the plate beneath Tibet.

The Himalayan Mountains and the Tibetan Plateau, the largest and highest geologic structures in the world, started forming some 50 million years ago through the crashing and colliding of the Asian and Indian continental plates. The Tibetan Plateau is a...

Continental plate clashes usually lead to the formation of mountains and mountain ranges due to the impact caused by the collision.

By analyzing the chemistry of over 200 geothermal springs, researchers have identified where the Indian Plate ends beneath Tibet, debunking some long-debated theories about the process of continental collision.
