Geological Splitting of the Indian Plate UPSC Recent studies reveal that the Indian Plate is undergoing a rare geological process called delamination, where its denser lower layer is detaching and sinking into the Earth’s mantle. This discovery, published by the American Geophysical Union, challenges existing tectonic models and has significant implications for seismic activity in South Asia. https://www.iasexam.com/geological-splitting-of-the-indian-plate/
