| Abstract | The new field investigations along the Yarlung Zangbo ophiolites zone show that these series underwent low green-schist metamorphism and were then fractured and occurred as slabs in tectonic melanges, without regional tectonic polarity. No large shear zone in north-south direction has been identified between ophiolite bodies and flysch layers on both side and a conformable contact relationship can be observed locally between them. A great mass of tectonic mélange has been substantiated as submarine olistolith bodies. The Mesozoic sedimentary facies and its evolution in both north and south of the ophiolite zone are corresponding in time. The ophiolite zone has often been divided into parallel branches, separated by narrow flysch slats. There is also a similarity of the Paleozoic and the basement of the High Himalaya, Lhasa and Qiangtang Terranes, and they are distinctly different from those of the Indian continent. The geologic information does not warrant a postulate that the Himalaya and Tibet were once separated by a great ocean; it is therefore consistent with an alternative tectonic model by back-arc basin collapse with its juvenile narrow oceanic crust. The real plate tectonic suture, the Neotethys might be covered under the Miocene Siwalik molasse in the southern slope of the High Himalaya range. Based on the new model, the Neotethyan ocean floor was subducted beneath the Asia since the Late Triassic. The outer continental margin of Eurasia was split from the Lhasa Terrane so that a back-arc basin came into existence. Hemi-pelagic and deep sea sediments were deposited before the Late Cretaceous flysch sedimentation, with the linear juvenile oceanic crust when back-arc volcanism occurred in the Gandese region. The Yarlung Zangbo back-arc basin was eventually eliminated when the High Himalayas were sutured onto Eurasia. The ocean floor lightly underthrusted to north and south sides, sediments of the basin were deformed as fold-thrusting. The Neotethys was eliminated during the Tertiary when India collided with Himalaya arc from the Oligocene. The crust of southern Tibet suffered penetrative shortening, the ophiolite zone became exposed during regional uplifting, and the South Tibet Detachment System, doming in southern Tibet and rifting in a north-south direction since the Middle Miocene Epoch. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
