Hyderabad's National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) has unearthed new findings shedding light on an ancient link between the Indian subcontinent and Antarctica. Their research provides strong evidence of a collision between India and East Antarctica over a billion years ago, a TOI report stated. In a significant discovery, the NGRI team, which includes Dr. K Chandrakala, OP Pandey, Biswajit Mandal, K Renuka, and N Prem Kumar, uncovered a hidden ridge beneath the Darsi and Addanki regions of Andhra Pradesh. This ridge is attributed to the historic collision, suggesting a tilting of the Cuddapah basin towards the south. The study further indicates signs of past seismic activity in the area, hinting at the presence of a marginal ocean basin along the east coast during the Columbia and Rodinia supercontinent assembly periods. By reprocessing seismic data along a 325-kilometer profile from Alampur to Ganapeswaram, the team investigated the subsurface crustal seismic structure of the north Cuddapah basin. Their findings revealed a thin layer of alluvium underlain by Gondwana sediments and Proterozoic sedimentary layers. Gondwana, a supercontinent encompassing present-day South America, Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica, played a crucial role in the geological evolution of these regions.
