Lava Plateaus of India explores the geological history and formation of India’s lava plateaus, particularly the Deccan Traps, offering a multidisciplinary approach that connects earth sciences with Indian history and geography. The book investigates how massive volcanic eruptions shaped the landscape, influenced environmental conditions, and affected human settlements and agricultural practices. Understanding these formations provides insights into past climate changes and the long-term evolution of the planet. The book presents a unique perspective by combining geological data with historical records to explore the Deccan Traps’ influence on Indian agriculture, ecology, and society.
The book is structured into three major sections, progressing from fundamental concepts of plate tectonics and volcanism to examining the timing and environmental consequences of the eruptions. It culminates by connecting the formation of the Deccan Traps to its present-day influence on Indian agriculture, ecology, and society. Through geological surveys, geochemical analyses, and historical records, the book unveils how the Deccan Traps have profoundly shaped the region.
