Zonation of the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt: A Review
Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt (EGMB), a poly-cyclic, high grade metamorphic terrane occurs along the eastern margin of Indian subcontinent, bounded by the three Archean cratons along suture zone which relates to Indo-Antarctica collision. Along the boundary, alkaline rocks are present linearly and are b...
