印度板块的运动是在绝对参照系中确定的，并与由西藏古地磁资料推断的欧亚大陆南缘的位置进行了比较。观测到的2600±900公里的陆壳缩短经历了三个不同的阶段：陆壳俯冲、陆内冲断内变形和侧向挤压。印度洋和太平洋板块碰撞和板块重组的详细年表支持了板块拉动是板块构造的主要驱动机制的假设。
The motion of the Indian plate is determined in an absolute frame of reference and compared with the position of the southern margin of Eurasia deduced from palaeomagnetic data in Tibet. The 2,600±900 km of continental crust shortening observed is shown to have occurred in three different episodes: subduction of continental crust, intracontinental thrusting and internal deformation, and lateral extrusion. The detailed chronology of the collision and plate reorganizations in the Indian and Pacific oceans supports the hypothesis that slab-pull is a dominant driving mechanism of plate tectonics.
