Synopsis

Why does Delhi tremble? Why do marine fossils turn up in the Himalayas? Why is Sri Lanka geologically a piece of Kerala? And how did a single volcanic eruption 66 million years ago cover half a continent in lava — and possibly change the fate of the dinosaurs?

Introduction to Geology: India's Geological Wonders answers these questions and dozens more, tracing the billion-year story of the Indian subcontinent from its origins in the ancient supercontinent Gondwana to the tectonic forces still reshaping it today.

Covering everything from the birth of the Himalayas and the mystery of the Indo-Gangetic Plain to the volcanic Deccan Plateau, India's shifting coastlines, the Andaman Islands, submerged civilisations, mineral wealth, and the future of India's land under climate change — this is a complete, accessible introduction to the geology that defines the subcontinent.

No scientific background needed. Just curiosity about the land beneath your feet.

For students, travellers, nature lovers, and anyone who calls India home.
