Book Synopsis Geological Evolution of South-east Asia by : Charles Strachan Hutchison
Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive synthesis of all aspects of the geology of South-east Asia, a region extending from Tibet and Taiwan southward through the Malay Peninsula into the Indonesian archipelago. The region is significant as the eastern extremity of Tethyan geology and the type locality of the Triassic Indonesian Orogeny. It is also the world's foremost field laboratory for convergent and "escape" tectonics. The active plate margins are described in detail, and the past history of drifting of microcontinents from Gondwanaland is traced to their eventual collision to form Eurasia.
