Crustal Evolution of Bundelkhand Craton in Archean and Comparison with Other Indian Cratons

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Geological and Geo-Environmental Processes on Earth

Part of the book series: Springer Natural Hazards ((SPRINGERNAT))

Abstract

Indian Shield consists of Bundelkhand, Aravalli, Singhbhum, Bastar, Western and Eastern Dharwar Cratons. The crustal evolutions of these cratons (except Singhbhum Craton) show that geodynamic mechanisms, similar to modern plate-tectonic and mantle-plume mechanisms, were active during Paleo-Neoarchean time. The Mesoarchean crustal evolution of the Bundelkhand Craton show subduction–accretion processes, which is different from other cratons of Indian Shield, whereas in other cratons, plume processes were more active during this period. During the Neoarchean period (2.7–2.5 Ga), all the cratons exhibit subduction–accretion processes. Each of the cratons demonstrates its own crust formation model. It gives the impression that the cratons of Indian Shield were parts of the Kenorland Supercontinent in Mesoarchean time, rather than one block.
