Earth science: An Indian cheetah
R. Dietmar Müller1
Abstract
After the supercontinent of Gondwanaland broke up, the part that became India diverged especially swiftly from the other fragments. The explanation for this might lie in the loss of India's deep roots.
Look up 'speed boosting' on the Internet and you'll find recipes for boosting the speed of computers, modems, cars, photographic film, gas turbines and even your golf cart. But how would you increase the speed of a continent ploughing through Earth's viscous, churning mantle?
