dc.description.abstractIt is generally presumed that the intraplate deformation in the Central Indian Basin (CIB) is a direct consequence of spreading across the South East Indian Ridge and the resistance to shortening at the continental collision between India and Southeast Asia. The deformation effects, viz., folded and faulted oceanic basement/sediments, high localized heat flow, intraplate seismicity are well reported over a narrow band in the equatorial region of the basin (5 degrees N to 8 degrees S, 80 degrees E to 90 degrees E), probably, for the reason that this part is directly south of the `hard` continent-to-continent collision that is taking place since early Miocene at the northern edge of the Indian plate. A simple study based on the evolution of Indian Ocean Triple Junction (IOTJ) indicates that the differential spreading across the Central Indian, South West and South East Indian Ridges plays a vital role in the deformation process
