Flexural and stratigraphic response of the western continental margin of India to Indus Fan loading.

摘要

ubsidence curves for 27 wells from the western continental margin of India show the effects of a driving subsidence mechanism in addition to the well-known thermal decay. From the late Paleocene to late Oligocene, these curves indicate subsidence consistent with effects of cooling. However, from the late Oligocene-early Miocene (approximately 24 Ma) onward, the curves show marked, long-lived increases in subsidence rates. Although the magnitudes of these increases beginning at
