Tectonics and structural geology of Indian terrain is of great interest to the Government and a number of private exploration agencies that are working presently. This edited volume aims to meet this requirement. In addition, B.Sc. and M. Sc. geoscience students undergoing geohistory and/or tectonic courses would benefit using this book.
This edited volume brings 16 research papers (Chaps. 2–17) from both academia and industry.
Mukherjee et al. (2019) in Chap. 2 present an exhaustive review on the geology and the geochronology and of the Chotanagpur Granite Gneissic Complex (CGGC).
They classify the CGGC into three domains, and also comment on the India-Antarctica reconstruction. <...>

The Arctic is a geologically unique region where the North American, Eurasian and Pacific lithospheric plates come together, and a new Arctic Ocean is born on the continuation of the North Atlantic. The northern geographical and magnetic poles are located in the Arctic. Large ore deposits have been discovered in the Arctic regions, and the shelves contain large hydrocarbon resources.

Evolution of the Appalachian orogen spanned the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras. Within the confines of the northern Appalachians of the United States (the New England States - Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island - and New York), the sequence of known major Appalachian tectonic events is late Proterozoic rifting of the protoNorth American craton; Ordovician subduction accompanied by destruction of the Iapetus Ocean and by obduction of tectonostratigraphic sequences; Devonian deformation, accretion, plutonism, and metamorphism, of uncertain plate tectonic context but likely related to a continent continentcollision; formation of late Carboniferous transtensive (oblique strikeslip) basins in which coal formed; and late Carboniferous to Permian thermal, plutonic, and metamorphic events. During the Mesozoic, the New England Appalachians underwent crustal extension associated with both alkalic and tholeiitic magmatism. These extensional processes (11-7, V-l)~/ reflect the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean and the creation of a passive margin, which remains today.<...>
