India is starting to split in two, new study reveals
According to a new study, the Indian Continental Plate isn't just shifting—it's SPLITTING into two distinct layers horizontally. This discovery was highlighted at the American Geophysical Union conference using helium clues. The upper layer's rise may explain Tibet's sky-high altitudes while the lower half sinks into the mantle's depths. The phenomenon could change what we know about the Earth's crust.
