What don't you understand in "Northwest part of India to cross the

What is it you can't fathom about Scotese's reconstructions that
show India not jumping any ridges?

I've asked you to point where this happens in Scotese's
reconstructions.

This is simple request.

One more time for our friend Stuart Weinstein of the Pacific Tsunami
Warning Center:

It sprung the ridge in every reconstruction where India's NW province go
souther than Africa's horn, simply because the ridge goes through the
gulf of Aden, and when that ridge was closed then that part of India was
obviously norther than the gulf of Aden, docked along the arabian coast
and along the Seychelles plateau and that old basin between Madagascar
and Ethiopia.


Got it now? If you don't, then make a drawing.
