Abstract
Constraints on the positions of India, Australia and Southeast Asia since the Late Cretaceous
Abstract
Plate motions registered by continental palaeomagnetism and by the spreading of the seafloor show that the continental entity of Sundaland, comprising much of Southeast Asia, moved westward across the wake of the northward moving Greater India about 15 million years ago (mid-Miocene) while at the same time Australia moved northward across Sundaland’s wake. Sundaland thus barely averted colliding on its west with Greater India and on its south with Australia.
