Question

Can you name some important consequences of the northward movement of the Indian plate?

The northward movement of Indian plate causes a sequence called "indentor tectonic sequence". This is modeled using simple plasticine models by Taponnier et al (1982) which resulted in a process depicted in simplified manner.For example,it is part of the initial process forming the petroleum systems in the basins producing oil and gas in Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, some parts of Indonesia, although there are other tectonic events involveed (e.g. northward collision of Australian Plate) that makes up the whole sequence............
