Perhaps Obama needs to push for a law to prohibit this.

Somewhere I have it, but couldn’t find it — an old article about a subterraenean “sea” somewhere under the Himalayas.

Well, we don’t have to worry about India overtaking us economically. The whole place is sinking into the earth.

continents are buoyant; they're supposed to float, not sink.

I believe the density difference between crustal ganite and the deeper basalt is greater than the difference between air and water.

Guess the Tragically Hip will have to update their song, “India is sinking man, and I don’t wanna swim.”

“Now, it’s by no means certain that the researchers in the new study — led by Fabio Capitanio of Monash University in Australia — have nailed this thing. It’s one of the most persistent mysteries about plate tectonics on the planet. But if Capitanio and his team are wrong, it would mean we still don’t understand how Earth’s greatest mountain range got there, or why it’s getting taller to this day.”

It starts off with the edge of the Indian Plate being subducted, but towards the end the Eurasian plate is being subducted while the Indian Plate continues to advance.
