Abstract

To outline the process of formation of the Tethys Ocean and its development from the Late Carboniferous (Hercynian) epeirogenic phase until the end of the Cretaceous, (when this ocean started vanishing), an earlier proposed model, involving lithospheric uplift stretching and development of anastomosing normal faults, which was suggested to explain the thermo-tectonic evolution o f the Kashmir basin, is extended to cover the region from Kashmir to Kempa Dzong (NE Sikkim).
