Scientists from Hyderabad's National Geophysical Research Institute discovered a hidden ridge in Andhra Pradesh's Darsi and Addanki regions, linked to a billion-year-old collision between India and East Antarctica. This significant geological finding involved reprocessing seismic data to uncover Proterozoic sediment layers, which has provided new insights into the ancient tectonic activities that shaped India's eastern coast. The discovery highlights Andhra Pradesh’s crucial role in understanding the geological history of the Indian subcontinent and its connections to the ancient Gondwana supercontinent.
