Geochronology of Laterites
There are marked similarities in between laterites of India and Australia because these continents have moved from polar to tropical palaeolatitudes...

Introduction to Laterite Study
It is quite unfeasible to travel far in India without observing the remarkable ferruginous hardcrust to which Buchanan in 1807 gave the name of...

Palaeogeographic Significance of Laterites
Many researchers have reliability on the laterites and weathered zones as palaeoclimatic indicators and as morpho-stratigraphic markers, because that...

The Paradigm of Stable Intraplate Regions and Neotectonics in Northeastern Brazil
Active faults in stable continental regions are less frequent than those in plate boundaries but cannot be ignored. These faults can generate...
