India is Splitting in Two: Groundbreaking Geological Discovery Reveals Major Shift

Geologists have made a monumental discovery that could change everything we know about the Earth's geology: a section of the Indian Plate might be splitting, undergoing a process known as delamination. This discovery has revealed that the lower section of the Indian Plate could be detaching and descending into the Earth's mantle, causing a gap to be filled with hot mantle rock. For 60 million years, the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates has created the mighty Himalayas, but now, deep beneath the surface, tectonic forces at work remain enigmatic.

New studies, based on earthquake wave patterns and the gases emerging from Tibetan springs, suggest that the Indian Plate may be experiencing a unique behavior—resisting subduction and sliding horizontally beneath Tibet or, alternatively, crumpling at its edges. This study points to the possibility of multiple fractures or "tears" in the plate, especially near Bhutan and northeastern India, which could have significant implications for earthquake activity and understanding continental collisions.

In this video, we’ll explore the groundbreaking findings that challenge previous hypotheses and take a closer look at how this process of delamination could change our understanding of the formation of the Himalayas and the dynamics of tectonic plates. Join us as we uncover the mystery of how India may be splitting and what this could mean for the region and Earth’s future.
