	Gale * eNewsletters * Science & Health Community News * March 2005 * Plate Tectonics
		Plate tectonic theory is so robust in its ability to explain and predict geological processes that it is equivalent in many regards to the fundamental and unifying principles of evolution in biology, and nucleosynthesis in physics and chemistry.
		Plate tectonics explains geologic changes that result from the movement of lithospheric plates over the asthenosphere (the molten, ductile, upper portion of the Earth's mantle).
		Lithospheric plates, composed of crust and the outer layer of the mantle, contain a varying combination of oceanic and continental crust.

	India Plate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The India Plate is currently moving northeast at 5 cm/yr (2 in/yr), while the Eurasian Plate is moving north at only 2 cm/yr (0.8 in/yr).
		This is causing the Eurasian Plate to deform, and the India Plate to compress at a rate of 4 mm /yr (0.15 in/yr).
		The 9.15 magnitude 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was caused by stress in the subduction zone where the India Plate is sliding under the Burma Plate in the eastern Indian Ocean, at a rate of 6 cm/yr (2.5 in/yr).

		India asserts that, for the reasons set out in its comments on the descriptive part, the text of paragraph 3.1 describing the measures and claims at issue, "does not properly reflect either India's claims or the measures addressed and clarified by India during the course of the proceeding".
		India is correct that the bracketed text in the quotation of section 782(e) in paragraph 7.91 of the report as originally drafted did not fully reflect the substance of the provisions it is intended to summarize.
		India considers that the point at which a pattern of similar conduct takes on the character of a measure is to be determined on the facts and circumstances of each case.

	Understanding plate motions [This Dynamic Earth, USGS]
		Plate boundary zones -- broad belts in which boundaries are not well defined and the effects of plate interaction are unclear.
		Even though the Nazca Plate as a whole is sinking smoothly and continuously into the trench, the deepest part of the subducting plate breaks into smaller pieces that become locked in place for long periods of time before suddenly moving to generate large earthquakes.
		Land on the west side of the fault zone (on the Pacific Plate) is moving in a northwesterly direction relative to the land on the east side of the fault zone (on the North American Plate).

	Burma Plate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the India Plate drifted northwards at a relatively rapid rate of an average 16 cm/yr, it also rotated in an counter-clockwise direction.
		After a further series of transform faulting, and the continuing subduction of the India Plate beneath the Burma plate, backarc spreading saw the formation of the marginal basin and seafloor spreading centre which would become the Andaman Sea, a process well-underway by the mid-Pliocene (3-4 Ma).
		On December 26, 2004, a large portion of the boundary between the Burma Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate slipped, causing the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.

	Measuring Relative Plate Motion
		Note that one of the two plates is considered 'fixed,' meaning that the velocities of the 'moving' plate will be calculated in the frame of reference of the 'fixed' plate.
		While the process of plate motion is slow (measured in millimeters per year), this divergence between plates results in the creation of tens of kilometers of new oceanic crust every million years.
		The bright colors on this base map signify the age of the sea floor, determined from a combination of measurements of radiometric ages of rocks dredged from the sea floor, ages of fossils from oceanic sediments, and magnetic field measurements of the oceanic crust.

	The Himalayas [This Dynamic Earth, USGS]
		The collision and associated decrease in the rate of plate movement are interpreted to mark the beginning of the rapid uplift of the Himalayas.
		India was once situated well south of the Equator, near the continent of Australia.
		At present, the movement of India continues to put enormous pressure on the Asian continent, and Tibet in turn presses on the landmass to the north that is hemming it in.

	Impact of events may have altered India's geography - The Boston Globe
		India's chief surveyor said that some islands in the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, a group of about 550 islands stretching between Burma and Indonesia, may have shifted when the Earth shook.
		Officials said it was important to assess the changes because of their potential impact on ocean shipping and because a possible northward shift in tectonic plates could affect a quake-prone region in northeastern India.
		Indian geologists were also concerned about the possibility that the tectonic plate known as the India Plate may have shifted north, affecting the region's seismic vulnerability.

	TSUNAMI FROM EARTHQUAKE
		The seabed of the Burma plate is estimated to have risen several metres vertically up over the India plate, creating shock waves in the Indian Ocean that traveled at up to 800 km/h (500 mi/h), forming tsunamis which, while less than a metre high in deep water, resulted in huge waves when they reached land.
		The India Plate is part of the great Indo-Australian Plate, which underlies the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal, and is drifting northeast at an average of 6 cm/yr (2 in/yr) (or 20 m (60 ft) per 330 years; i.e.
		The India Plate meets the Burma Plate (which is considered a portion of the great Eurasian Plate) at the Sunda Trench.

	TSUNAMIS OF THE INDIAN OCEAN - by Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Further south on the western side the Indian tectonic plate is bounded by the Central Indian and Carlsberg mid-ocean ridges, a region of shallow seismicity.
		A divergent boundary separates the Burma plate from the Sunda plate in the north.
		Also, it appears that the Australian plate is rotating in a counterclockwise direction, putting stress on the southern segment of the India plate.

	Plate Tectonics : Mountain Ranges
		The plates, therefore, emerging along mid-ocean ridges, sliding over the athenosphere, and grinding past other plates along transform faults, are almost all headed on a collision course.
		Briefly, it goes like this: As the Indo-Australian Plate, with India firmly embedded, approached the Eurasian continent 20 million years ago, its leading edge, comprised of oceanic crust, was first to be crumpled and uplifted.
		Thus, plate tectonics explains how the majestic peaks of one of the world’s great mountain ranges were once the deep sea-floors of an ancient drifting plate.

	A Lesson in Plate Tectonics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Plate margins are the edges of the plates, where all the awesome power of nature is released in earthquakes and volcanoes!
		As a plate moves in one direction it collides with the adjacent plate on its "front" end, while the trailing end of the plate is being pulled and stretched (spreading) from the plate on the other end.
		The entire plate is moving north and westward (up and to the left) as the top edge converges with the North American and European plates.

	Earth
		The theory that describes this is known as plate tectonics.
		Subduction occurs when two plates collide and the edge of one dives beneath the other and ends up being destroyed in the mantle.
		Plate tectonics and biological processes now maintain a continual flow of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to these various "sinks" and back again.

	INDIA - EARTHQUAKE OF 25 JANUARY 2001 IN GUJARAT, INDIA - By: George Pararas-Carayannis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The quake was the most powerful to strike this region of India in the last fifty years.
		This seismic boundary has been formed by the movement of the Indian tectonic plate in a north and northeast direction as it collides with the Eurasian and Arabian tectonic plates.
		These quakes resulted by the gradual shifting of the India tectonic plate beneath the Tibetan plate in the geologically young Himalayan Mountain range and along the Himalayan arc.

	The Earthquake of 25 January 2001 in India - Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis
		The Gujarat earthquake was the most powerful to strike India since 15 August 1950, when an 8.5 magnitude quake killed 1,538 people in the northeastern Assam state.
		The more intense seismic activity occurs by the thrust which is developing at the Himalayan foothills of India's Uttar Pradesh state, to the east.
		Most of the vertical crustal uplift from earthquakes in India occurs primarily over land areas thus seismotectonic coupling in this particular region is not conducive to tsunamigenesis.

		The earthquake occurred at the margin of two crustal plates, where the India Plate subducts beneath the overriding Burma Plate.
		Consider all the earth's crust to be a series of plates that move about adjacent to one another.
		As you can imagine, two huge plates of rock moving against each other create a lot of friction and the movement typically is not smooth flow but rather a pattern of pressure building up and then sudden release and movement.
