A groundbreaking geological study has revealed that the granite of the Lhasa terrane in southern Tibet did not originate from India, but rather from western Australia. This revelation sheds light on a long-standing geological mystery regarding the origins of this block of rock and poses significant implications for the understanding of tectonic processes in the region. The findings may reshape the established perspectives of how the Earth's crust is formed and interconnected across various regions.
Recent research indicates that the granite found in the Lhasa terrane of southern Tibet originates from western Australia rather than India, challenging previous geological assumptions.
The geological study positions Australia's previously unrecognized contribution to the Earth's crust and reshapes our understanding of tectonic processes of the region.
