Can the South Atlantic Opening Model be Applied to the India Margins?

The presence of SDRs (seawrd dipping reflectors) on the regional lines around the Indian continent strongly suggest the breakup of the lithosphere and the onset of the sea-floor spreading were similar to those proposed and described for the South Atlantic, which, in fact, is quite similar to the ope...
