The oceanic islands , whose relicts are preserved within the melange along
Indus Suture Zone , were the result of rising plumes due to hotspot activity in the
Neotethys . They perhaps reflect the initiation of immense Deccan trap volcanism

The buoyancy of the seamounts is greater in comparison to the substratum , i.e. ,
oceanic crust in which they are embedded . These elevated bathymetric features
being buoyant and choke the throat of subduction zone therefore they undergo ...

About 100 Ma ago eruption of volcanic islands over the Neotethys oceanic crust
was the result of hotspot activity . As the oceanic crust drifted , about 66 Ma ago
India came over hotspot , that resulted in outpouring of Deccan Traps . With the ...
