Book excerpt: Written by an international expert in the field, Geophysical Framework of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan focuses on the Indian subcontinent, encompassing detailed descriptions of the region's tectonic outline and geophysical parameters. It enables researchers and practitioners in the industry to visualize the extension of the structural and tectonic elements at depth, and the processes underlying the evolution of the Indian lithosphere and craton. The text integrates the emerging concepts and newly acquired data, keeping in view the framework of plate tectonics, seismicity, neotectonics, mid-continent rifting, and ridge formation, suturing together the disparate cratonic elements and covering a period of over three billion years.
