Download or read book Geology of the Nepal Himalaya written by Megh Raj Dhital and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the geology of the entire Himalayan range in Nepal, i.e., from the Gangetic plain in the south to the Tethyan zone in the north. Without a comprehensive look at the various Himalayan zones, it is practically impossible to fully grasp the processes at work behind the formation and development of the spectacular Himalaya. However, the goal is not merely to document all the scientific ontology but rather to reveal a sound basis for the prevailing concepts. Both the early literature on Himalayan geology and contemporary trends are fully covered. For the first time, the origin, use, and abuse of common Himalayan geological terms such as the Siwaliks, Lesser Himalaya, Main Boundary Thrust, Main Central Thrust, and Tethys are discussed. The book will help readers to progress from a cognitive approach to a constructive one by linking various types of knowledge, such as seeking relations between various geological structures as well as between earlier thoughts or views and contemporary approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Himalayan mountain belt, which developed during the India–Asia collision starting about 55 Ma ago, is a dramatically active orogen and it is regarded as the classic collisional orogen. It is characterized by an impressively continuous 2500 km of tectonic units, thrusts and normal faults, as well as large volumes of high-grade metamorphic rocks and granites exposed at the surface. This constitutes an invaluable field laboratory, where amazing crustal sections can be observed directly in very deep gorges. It is possible to unravel the tectonic and metamorphic evolution of litho-units, to observe the mechanisms of exhumation of deep-seated rocks and the propagation of the deformation. Himalayan tectonics has been the target of many studies from numerous international researchers over the years. In the last 15 years there has been an explosion of data and theories from both geological and geophysical perspectives. This book presents the results of integrated multidisciplinary studies, including geology, petrology, magmatism, geochemistry, geochronology and geophysics, of the structures and processes affecting the continental lithosphere. These processes and their spatial and temporal evolution have major consequences on the geometry and kinematics of the India–Eurasia collision zone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major review contains important new information on an area that is of considerable interests to geologists: the higher central Himalaya. Coverage includes field observations, route maps, fossil finds, stratigraphic columns, geochemical age determinations, chemical rock analyses, and recently discovered mineral deposits. Its focus on parts of the Himilayas that are not accessible to non-Indians lends it added significance, as well as the dearth of recent works on this area: the classic book by Heim and Gansser is almost 50 years old. Includes numerous illustrations.

Download or read book Precambrian Geotectonics in the Himalaya written by B.K. Chakrabarti and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precambrian Geotectonics in the Himalaya provides an overview on general geology and tectonics of all the Precambrian domains of the Himalayan terrain. Authored by an expert with over five decades of laboratory, field and publication experience, the book studies the “Window zones to provide a scope for understanding Precambrian deformation effects. The book fills a gap in literature, specifically covering the Precambrian geotectonic picture of the terrain. Considering Precambrian regional events are not clearly recognized or visualized in many sectors due to overlapping crystallines, this book details a Precambrian geotectonic framework of the terrain on which the Himalayan event evolved. This book is a necessary reference guide for Earth scientists, exploration and hazard management scientists, professors, students and anyone who carries out research that requires a comprehensive picture of the Precambrian Himalaya and the adjacent peninsula. Features comprehensive data gathered from decades of research on the Himalaya Includes numerous detailed case studies that allow readers to comprehensively consider the data presented Describes the Precambrian tectonostratigraphic history of the Himalayan terrain

Book excerpt: The crash of the Indian plate into Asia is the biggest known collision in geological history, and it continues today. The result is the Himalaya and Karakoram - one of the largest mountain ranges on Earth. The Karakoram has half of the world's highest mountains and a reputation as being one of the most remote and savage ranges of all. In this beautifully illustrated book, Mike Searle, a geologist at the University of Oxford and one of the most experienced field geologists of our time, presents a rich account of the geological forces that were involved in creating these mountain ranges. Using his personal accounts of extreme mountaineering and research in the region, he pieces together the geological processes that formed such impressive peaks.
