Abstract

[Ophiolite and ophiolitic rocks were emplaced along the western, northern and eastern margins of the Indian plate during the northward movement of the Indian plate and the collision of the Indian continental block first with intra-oceanic island arcs within the Neotethys, and then with the Helmand and Kabul continental blocks to the west (Tapponnier et al. 1981), the Asian continental block to the north (Gansser 1964) and the Myanmar continental block to the east (Mitchell 1993)]
